Australia's only temperate natural deciduous tree
turns on a dazzling display of colour for two or three weeks from about
the last week in April. The deciduous beech or 'Fagus' changes colour before loosing
it's leaves for winter. The result is a colour spectacle. The tree is only found
in Tasmania's western highlands as well as a small but very beautiful
area at
Tarn Shelf near Mt Field and some
surrounding areas.
