Visitor Learning Guide
VISITOR LEARNING GUIDE 1 Produced by The Wilderness Society The Styx Valley of the Giants oers the opportunity to experience one of the world’s most iconic and spectacular forest areas. For decades the Wilderness Society has worked with the broader community to achieve protection for the Styx and we want to share it, and some of its stories, with you. This guide is not meant to be a comprehensive overview of the Styx, Tasmania’s forests or World Heritage. Rather, it is designed to share a cross-section of knowledge through simple stories that follow a common theme on each of the identified walks. With its help, we hope you will learn from this spectacular place, and leave knowing more about our forests, their natural and cultural legacy and some other interesting titbits. The Wilderness Society acknowledges the Tasmanian Aboriginal community as the traditional owners and custodians of all Country in Tasmania and pays respect to Elders past and present. We support eorts to progress reconciliation, land justice and equality. We recognise and welcome actions that seek to better identify, present, protect and conserve Aboriginal cultural heritage, irrespective of where it is located.

AFG Winter 2009.Indd
The world’s tallest hardwood tree The world’s tallest hardwood tree was discovered earlier this year in Tasmanian state forest less than less than five STILL STANDING kilometres from Forestry Tasmania’s Tahune Airwalk tourism attraction. orestry Tasmania staff Mayo Kajitani and David Mannes were routinely screening some new Fairborne laser scanner (LiDAR ) data taken last August for giant trees when they found a large canopy whose maximum height reading was showing 99 metres. Scarcely containing their excitement, they raced to the Huon River to check their giant, a mountain ash (Eucalyptus regnans), from the ground. Using special ground-based laser survey equipment, they got clear sightings to just below the top of the tree, giving readings of its height at over 100 metres. “I had been saving the name Centurion for our 100th giant tree”, says David. “None of us ever imagined that we would find a 100 metre tree instead.” A Centurion was the title given to a Roman officer in charge of 100 soldiers. While it was initially thought to be the only known standing hardwood tree in the world to be over 100 metres tall, subsequent, more accurate measurements found that it actually measures 99.6m and has a diameter of 405cm. Not quite the full Centurion, but still the tallest Eucalyptus tree in the world, the tallest hardwood tree in the world, and the tallest flowering plant in the world. (Californian redwoods are taller, but they are softwoods, and botanists do not classify them as flowering plants). It has now been nicknamed the Bradman because 99.6 was the legendary Australian cricketer’s test run average. -
