 Australia's tallest measured living specimen of mountain ash, named Centurion, stands at 99.6 metres (327.5 feet) in Tasmania.Whether a mountain ash over 400 feet high ever existed in Victoria or the Otways is now almost impossible to substantiate but the early accounts from the 1860s are still quoted in contemporary texts such as the Guinness Book of Records and Carder, as well as being widely restated on the internet.Around the turn of the century, Nicholas John Caire named and photographed many of Victoria's remaining giant trees.
