This tree is a Eucalyptus Regnans The tallest hardwood tree and largest flowering plant on earth. I guess all that timber must make lots of paper, and Gunns must have thought the same, as they are unashamedly clearfelling masses of ancient Regnans in Tasmania.
To find out more, read at this very interesting article from The Monthly, May 2007, available online.
If Tasmania is to far to go and make protest, take some cyberaction at the Wilderness Society Cyberactivist Site.
May the trees be happy.
