A colour photograph of the Big Tree in Cambarville near Marysville in Victoria. It was, at one stage, known to be the tallest hardwood tree in the world standing at 92 meters (301ft, 6 inches). However, it was reduced to 84 meters by a wind storm in 1959. It is a mountain ash. There is a walking track through the forest that will take you to the Big Tree. This postcard was produced by Nucolorvue Productions as a souvenir of Marysville.
