Heritage significance
‘River Red Gum’, 47 Booth Street, Happy Valley, is a large and impressive example of a Eucalyptus camaldulensis of approximately 350 years of age. Formerly comprising a prominent part of Alfred Hallett’s farming estate, the tree now represents a significant and well-documented botanical element for the district, having survived the extensive farming land clearings from the 1830s and the subsequent residential subdivisions of the mid-20th century, most likely due to its impressive size and age.
The tree now effectively represents the entire span of the Happy Valley district’s colonial history, from its 1830s farming origins to the extensive residential subdivisions of the mid-20th century. The tree is also associated with the estate of Alfred Hallett (1814-1877), a significant early settler for the Happy Valley district and a prominent early South Australian colonist.
