With a base diameter of approximately 20 feet, this impressive tree<br \/>served as a temporary residence for the Nicholas and Eva Penny family during the<br \/>early 1900s while they constructed a permanent home.<br \/>In 1905, Nicholas Penny ring-barked this 130-foot tree, which provided unique shelter<br \/>after it was hollowed out by fire. The Penny Tree offers a fascinating insight into the<br \/>resilience and resourcefulness of the past.<br \/>It&#8217;s quite striking to consider the experience of living inside such a tree for nine months.<br \/>Unfortunately, this extraordinary tree was lost to bushfires in 1926.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The &#8220;Penny Tree&#8221; in Fumina is a remarkable and historically significant giant, amassive, hollowed-out Eucalyptus tree (likely a River Red Gum, Eucalyptuscamaldulensis).
