Statement of Significance

Two trees, one adjacent to Park Tce, the other nearby but approx. 50m into the Golf Course, are the only known remnant E.porosa in the entire parklands, apart from in West Terrace Cemetery. This species formed a major component of the vegetation of North Adelaide and the present Adelaide central business district.
