Warburton Rainforest Gallery is located in Yarra Ranges National Park, and is approximately 65km east of Melbourne.

It was my first visit there. I was belittled by the massiveness of those tall Myrtle Beech trees. They are slow-growing, can reach 65 metres in height and would have seen more than 1,000 years of life. They are remnant descendant of the extensive Ancient Gondwanda Beech forests dating back around 200 million years ago that covered most of south-eastern Australia.

Lophozonia cunninghamii, the myrtle beech, is an evergreen tree native to Tasmania and Victoria, Australia.

This is another weeping cherry at Banksia Park having survived last year's big flood.

This was taken with my Samsung mobile phone a couple of minutes before the tree fell totally in the shade.
