Victorian Ash Tallest Flowering Plant in the world



Question
What is the largest living thing on earth?

Answer...
It was once the Australian Eucalyptus believe it or not (until we cut them all down)

Now all the really tall ones have gone.

The USA claim to have the biggest trees today.

He's left the surburbs behind for a tree change.

Andrew moved from his rented workshop in mid 2009 and is now operating from his very own fully equipped workshop studio

Where is he now?

Heyfield Victoria 3858
(just over 2 hours drive from Melbourne CBD)
Nestled in the gateway to the Snowy Mountain region Heyfield is a small timber town situated on the Thomson River in the wetlands of Central Gippsland.
Once home of eight sawmills, Heyfield has the largest hardwood sawmill in the Southern Hemisphere.


Gippsland was once the home of the tallest trees in the world!
You can't change the past - The future is our responsibility.
  Victorian Ash is just one example of a sustainable timber that won't cost the earth.

We should be proud of our giant gum trees here in Australia.

The furniture industry gives the timber fancy names like Tasmanian Oak, its not really an oak tree at all its an Australian eucalyptus tree which has gum nuts and flowers, its a totally different species to an English Oak which has an acorn.

I think eucalyptus trees make beautiful timber, trees need to be understood and respected
