The King Tree

Who knew there was a BC (before colonisation) tree , that's over 400 years old, still standing near Wirrabara in South Australia. It should celebrated as a proud , renowned natural monument in SA history.

Worth the visit on the way up to the Bluff.

A brilliant little detour when on the way to or back from the Flinders.

Worth a visit. Amazing

Loved it

That is certainly a very big tree!!

Nice short walk in a beautiful bush setting

If your into trees you must check it out.

Peaceful and powerful

Worth the short walk 😁

After cursing the person who thought it was only 150m to the tree and back tracking nearly the entire spur we found the "King Tree" on a side path. It is roughly 150m from the start and it is easy to miss but if you follow the path for a few metres you will see it standing there in all it's glory. Unfortunately, the information sign is completely worn off so I don't know the history but if you have the time it is worth checking out.

Lovely forest, great forest drive, but the King tree is a little underwhelming. It took a bit of effort to find it (it was pouring rain and the roads were fairly treacherous), and I'm not certain it was worth the effort. Yes, it's a big tree, and it's in a nice paddock, but there are plenty of more spectacular trees around, and I've seen bigger ones. But still, it was an interesting way too spend an afternoon!
