Franklin Catchment Evans Track- 57.334N 43.950E Aboriginal
scar tree registered on the Aboriginal site register in 1998. Protected
under State and Federal legislation. This site was clear-felled and
burnt in 1997. All rainforest buffers were removed increasing the risk
of wildfire and introducing increased levels of Myrtle wilt, fatal to
all infected Myrtle beech trees. Wildfire and myrtle wilt are the two
most serious threats to Victoria's Cool temperate Rainforests.
