Great Mountain Ash trees (Eucalyptus Regnans) once forested vast expanses of Gippsland. The absent space of this public sculpture acts as an archaeological dig and is based on the circumference of the world’s tallest tree -114.3 meters, found in Thorpdale and cut down to measure the height in 1884. The sculpture is positioned on an original site of a giant mountain ash tree and produced from a 3d scan of the living Ada tree, located near Powelltown, Yarra Ranges Shire.
