Isn't this a huge old tree? It stands in a paddock with a few others, none as big as it is though. I would guess that the now empty paddock is the site of an old home which has vanished, apart from a cellar which is obviously used by rabbits and foxes. Pines like these were planted as wind breaks around homes, and in fact still are, as our own native Eucalypts tend not to be suitable as wind break trees. In season, lots of the poisonous red mushrooms with white spots grow under this tree and it looks amazing.
