Death of a generation

28th May 2009, Mt Rufus circuit near Lake St Clair

On the way back from Mt Rufus we passed through several areas of dead upper story eucalypt trees. What was unusual is that there were no similar sized living trees. Upper story trees don’t usually all die at once. For example, this is usually only something you see in a newly formed dam where land has been flooded and all the trees die. There weren’t any other trees even approaching their size.
