Directions

Big Tree Road is a gravel road and may be difficult to access in the wetter months of the year. Also, the tree is not signed. However, it can be found at 33°12’26.2″S 115°57’12.8″E.

Head south along Big Tree Road from Mornington Road. Go past the Sandalwood Road turn-off. Further south on Big Tree Road, you will come to about four roads going in all directions. The “Big Tree” is located on the west side of this intersection.

Note: the southern section of Big Tree Road may require 4WD access depending on road conditions. For 2WD gravel access, it is recommended that visitors access the tree from the north, off Sandalwood Road or Mornington Road, rather than via Beela Road and Flynn Road.
