We were in Delegate on our way south towards Lakes Entrance the other week. I'd first known about the place from my time in a previous life in the paper industry. It was the home of Eucalyptus delegatensis, one of the big three Tasmanian eucalypts (also found in Victoria). One of the Tasmanian specimens is the world's tenth tallest tree - before the loggers ran riot, Tasmania probably had the world's tallest trees in fact, though they would have been of the Eucalyptus regnans species.
We'd stopped for a while to photograph a terrifically photogenic pioneer home they'd restored. I rather liked Delegate.
