Giant Eucalypt forests are popular tourist destinations

People are awestruck by the size and age of giant Eucalypts. The oldest giant Eucalypts are 500 to 1,000 years old, depending on the species. Giant Eucalypts have abundant tree hollows of different sizes and shapes for a wide range of hollow dependent fauna. They continue to provide important habitat for many decades after they senesce, die and collapse.

The official Tasmanian Government tourism web site now has a special section on where to visit big and old Eucalypts: https://www.discovertasmania.com.au/experiences/stories/big-trees/

The WA and Victorian governments also promote tall and giant tree tourism:
