"It was as Straight as an arrow, and tapered but little in proportion to its height... the finest timber my eyes ever beheld..." — James Cook writing in his journal, 1769. Sadly, this tall tree and its companions below the Franz Josef glacier were clear felled in early 1986 despite conservation protests against the transfer of this former Crown land.
