Orroroo Things to Do Tips by iandsmith

Giant Red Gum

This massive tree is estimated to be over 500 years old and was last measured at 10.89 metres girth .61 metres above the ground. Eucalyptus Camaldulensis is its scientific name but Red River Gum is what any Australian would call it.
It lies just on the outskirts of Orroroo and is the main attraction but there are other significant trees in the area also (see pic 3).

The sculptures

It's art by any other name. Corrugated iron as an art form. I'd seen it in New Zealand but here it was different and, in this case, stuck in the middle of the main street.
