About this site

The magnificent Ada Tree is a giant mountain ash estimated to be over 300 years old and one of Victoria’s largest trees.

Deep in the Yarra State Forest and close to Warburton, Powelltown and Noojee, the Ada Tree towers over the surrounding cool temperate rainforest at 76m tall and has a circumference of 15m.

The Ada Tree can be reached by a walking track that starts at the Ada Tree car park and picnic area.

Ada Tree Walk

This unique walk showcases one of the largest flowering eucalypts in the world and one of the biggest trees in Victoria. The walk winds through cool temperate rainforest with groves of ancient myrtle, beech, sassafras and tree ferns to reach a viewing platform overlooking this impressive tree.

The 3.6km loop walk takes about 1.5hrs to complete, returning to the car park. This is a grade 3 walk with some uneven and natural steps, so some bushwalking experience is recommended. This site is included on the multi-day Walk into History walk.
