The Arthur McQuilty Memorial Tree is a giant Tallowwood (Eucalyptus microcorys) that commemorates local Forester, Arthur McQuilty. A 250m walking track takes visitors form the carpark to this magnificent tree where it can be admired from bench seating.

In 1932, 21-year-old Arthur McQuilty had been working at Homeleigh near Kyogle. He was ready to head home when reportedly spotted a goanna going after some young parrots in a tree. Arthur grabbed a gun, and in manouevring over a log, lost his footing. The gun exploded with the charge going through his arm. Arthur was taken to Kyogle Memorial Hospital where sadly his arm had to be amputated.

Undeterred, Arthur made a complete recovery & constructed his own prosthetic arm (with hook), even drilling a hole in his axe handle so he could continue to work for Forestry falling timber. Arthur and his wife had a large family, many of whom still reside in the area today.
