The ages of these trees are approximately 400 years. They can live for up to 500 years. Two hundred years ago vast forests of tuart, jarrah and marri stretched from Jurien Bay to Busselton.

Where are tuart trees found?

Tuart (Eucalyptus gomphocephala) trees grow along a 400-kilometre band from Jurien Bay, on the northern margin of the Swan Coastal Plain, to the Sabina River, just east of Busselton. It is estimated that before Europeans arrived there were more than 111,600 hectares of tuart woodland.
