  • 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.

CHAIR’S REPORT Thrust unexpectedly into the role of Chair in August 2018, I’d like to report on yet another successful year of operation from the RDA Tasmania Committee. As can be seen from the table of outcomes included in this report, the RDA Tasmania Committee committed ourselves to a broad range of activities across all areas required by our funding contract, and importantly, has delivered strong outcomes in all areas.
