Just down the road from Eden Valley is the tree where
Friedrich Herbig lived. Moving South from the Barossa,
He made the old gum his home. Settling down, he brought
His new wife to live in the tree, which has a broad,
Hollow base, room for a small family. After five
Years and two children, Herbig upgraded, to a
Hut. Later he built a stone house with room for his
Sixteen offspring. The house still stands. As does the tree.
