A new home for Barry - Xanthorrhoea tree relocation, Cotter Dam

The environmental management of the Enlarged Cotter Dam has included the preservation of the unique Xanthorrhoea trees, some of which are hundreds of years old. Some of these trees were growing in an area that was required to be cleared. This film depicts the removal and relocation of these trees to the Australian National Botanic Gardens, and demonstrates how this work is undertaken. So take a look at "Barry" receiving a haircut and a lift to his new home!
