Information

This Tree (and plaque) is on the original Gary Junction Road. You will need to take a short diversion of 450m from the main track to reach the tree. There is another tree on the roadside that has been blazed and painted white with a marker on it (erected 2004 to help you locate the side track.

Len's tree is 11 Miles from Jupiter Well. The significance of his marker was that this is as close as Len got in 1960 on his attempt to get to the site of the Jupiter Well that he was aiming for when pushing the Gary Junction Road 100 km west of the Pollock Hills due to a catastrophic gearbox failure in his grader. Len did not return to the site until 1962.-
