Trust-owned Everglades was built in the 1930s and while the house is interesting, it's the
magnificent garden created by Danish 'master gardener' Paul Sorenson that's the main
drawcard. Fountains, waterfalls, terraced lawns, freestone walls, a museum, an art gallery
and tearooms - Everglades is a must for green thumbs.

EXPLORERS' TREE

(Great Western Hwy)
Just west of Katoomba, on the edge of the highway, intrepid trio Went-
worth, Blaxland and Lawson notched the Explorers' Tree to mark their trail. This sad,
bushfire-ravaged stump has been amputated, gored by termites and filled with concrete,
earning it the title Eucalyptus concretus.
