Statement of Significance
- 7 Algerian Oaks (Quercus canariensis)
- 6 English Oaks (Quercus robur)
- 5 English Elms (Ulmus procera)
Aesthetically, despite its diminished size and somewhat poor condition, the Avenue is an important part of the character and identity of Berry's Creek. It marks the entrance to Berry's Creek from the Strzelecki Highway and provides an appropriate setting for the School and Hall, which are focal to the identity of the district. (AHC criterion - E.1)

BERRY'S CREEK HONOUR AVENUE - Physical Description 1
The Berry's Creek Honour Avenue comprises approximately 18 trees adjacent to Berry's Creek Road, which are believed to be the remnants of trees originally planted in 1918 and 1919. It is likely that replacements were made in later years. The trees, which are located on the roadside as well as on private property include:
- 7 Algerian Oaks (Quercus canariensis)
- 6 English Oaks (Quercus robur)
- 5 English Elms (Ulmus procera)There are also 5 Monterey Cypress (Cupressus macropcarpa). These are not consistent with the original plantings, which exclusively comprised elms and oaks, but it is possible that they were substituted as a hardier alternative.
The trees on private land are untouched and are in relatively good condition, whereas the trees on Council land have been mutilated and are in poor condition due to incorrect maintenance, vandalism and accidental damage.Heritage Study and Grading
