First Nations Scarred Tree, Yarra Park
 

This scar tree still stands in Yarra Park, just a drop punt away from the Melbourne Cricket Ground. The First Nations People would remove bark from the red gum to create canoes, shields, tools, and more. These scars or holes in the tree can still be seen today. This tree is believed to be between 200 and 800 years old. This area was a significant meeting spot and a well-known corroboree site for The People of the Kulin Nation.
