Explorer’s Tree to be removed, due to safety concern
Blue Mountains City Council supports Transport for NSW’s decision to temporarily relocate Explorers Tree, away from the Great Western Highway north of Katoomba, due to safety concerns.
Minister for Regional Transport and Roads Paul Toole announced yesterday (18 February 2021) that the stump of the large Mountain Ash, reputed to have been inscribed with the names of three of Australia’s earliest European explorers, would be temporarily removed due its “crash risk”.

At the start of the pandemic in March we took the decision to make online access to our news free of charge by taking down our paywall. At a time where accurate information about Covid-19 was vital to our community, this was the right decision – even though it meant a drop in our income. In order to help safeguard the future of our journalism, the time has now come to reinstate our paywall, However,
rest assured that access to all Covid related news will still remain free.
To access all other news will require a subscription, as it did pre-pandemic. The good news is that for the whole of December we will be running a special discounted offer to get 3 months access for the price of one month. Thank you for supporting us during this incredibly challenging time.
