Australia's only natural deciduous tree turns on a dazzling display of colour for two or three weeks from about the last week in April. The deciduous beech or 'Fagus' changes colour before loosing it's leaves for winter. The result is a colour spectacle. The tree is only found in Tasmania's western highlands as well as a small but very beautiful area at Tarn Shelf near Mt Field.
