Statement of Significance

This tree is significant for its landscape context, as one of the few remaining remnant trees in the inner city, and for its association with Aboriginal activities.

A plaque at the tree reads "Aboriginals of early settlement days congregated and held their ceremonies under and in the vicinity of this tree".
