Stoodley Forest

Located on the Railton-Sheffield road this site provides something different from the eucalypt dominated forests.

Experimental forest types planted here in the 1940's helped determine todays most viable species.

A 30 minute loop walk takes you through towering exotics, such as Douglas Fir, European Beech, Radiata Pine and a fine stand of Tasmanian blue gum.

Because this plantation area is in a sheltered secluded valley, most of the species have grown to great size.

In fact one of the radiata pine is now over 60 metres tall, which is the tallest on record in the southern hemisphere.
