Statement of Significance

The pine is significant locally for the rarity of the type and maturity, judged within the district, and its symbolism of an earlier garden connected with a simple weekender used by the journalist, Luke, and hence supporting one of the common early house types in the Upper Beaconsfield area. The pine also has secondary associations with Buchanan who was well known in Gippsland over a long period.

      STONE PINE AT WINDY HILLS FARM, FORMER - Physical Description 1

      The stone pine is located at the top of a rise next to what was a modest weatherboard gabled weekender which has since been greatly extended. This type of tree is rare within the Shire, particularly at that maturity.

      The more common Monterey pines are grouped around the house, with a bunya bunya in the drive. Other mature planting includes: lillypilly, fig, mulberry, large pink hawthorn and an Irish strawberry.
