Bottle tree near Roma ca 1880

from State Library of Queensland

• Vesna Verencevic said:

  Roma's largest bottle tree, which has an incredible girth of 9.62 meters, a height of 15 meters, and a crown of 23 meters, was transplanted by Roma Town Council to its present location from a local property in 1927. The tree was fairly well-grown at the time of the transplant and quite possibly originated in the nineteenth century. No trip to Roma is complete without a selfie with the Big Bottle Tree!

• Vesna Verencevic said:

  Roma's Largest Bottle Tree was mature when transplanted and is now over 100 years old. It takes around 6 men to reach the girth of Roma's Largest Bottle Tree. Although Roma's Largest Bottle Tree is fully mature the trunk still grows around 1cm per year, depending on the season. Some people believe the tree is hollow however the swelling is due to water held in its fibrous trunk and does not usually contain free water. Often Bottle Tress can live naturally for well over 200 years. An interesting fact is most trees described by Major Thomas Mitchell in 1864 at Mt Abundance can still be found today.

Properties dotted on the hillside in the Mount Glorious vicinity, 1952

from State Library of Queensland

• Vesna Verencevic said:

  Only a short drive from Brisbane are a patchwork of towns and villages in the hill country they like to call the hinterland. In early European days before air-conditioning, they offered a refreshing retreat from coastal heat for people used to more temperate climates. Their purpose was a bit like the hill stations of British India. Among the least-known to outsiders are two tiny settlements, so close to Brisbane they could easily have been swallowed by urban sprawl if not for a national park. The closest, on the edge of the rainforest is Mount Nebo. A bit higher and right in the rainforest centre, is the magnificently named Mount Glorious.
