Big Tree

This one is the biggest redwood in the US and one of the largest trees in the world. It was called "The Giant Tree". Imaginative. In case you can't read the sign: 363 feet high 53.2 feet circumference.
postscript: Ok turns out the old tree in Gippsland was bigger than that big tree we saw. But unlike the Americans, we cut the tree down and did something useful with it (I think it was converted to shingles and planks). The big Redwood was 363 feet tall standing

* The Thorpdale tree in South Gippsland. This was measured twice by a surveyor, once when it was standing by a theodolite (a surveying instrument) and again when it was cut down - in 1880. Its cut down height was 114m (374 feet). This tree was actually listed in the Guinness Book of Records as the tallest tree in the world as there was actual documents available to verify this. Today a plaque denotes it resting place and the site can still be visited - although with nothing present there isn't much point except to remember man's folly.
