I found this interesting and somewhat encouraging. Old marked trees disappear pretty quickly these days.
This one will sit quietly for others to ponder on in times to come

Did they leave a memorial monument of the tree? Some broken whisky bottle?? A brass stob? GIS coordinates?

You would figure 100k could at least bury TDD's banjo

endeavoring to talk with someone on this but found this link

I haven't watched all this, but I see. there was whisky poured at that event on youtube, along with fruit cake and 'billy tea'.
Ah, those were the days. Lucky to find a tree to cut a mark in these days, yet alone allowed to do so on environmental grounds.

I'll add anything else if found.

Ahhhh, They marked a NEW reference tree and measured to the monument. Thanks for the YouTube link.
