We had our first trip through the NSW & Victorian high country in December and I was amazed to see hundreds of kilometres of white, dead, mature trees.

One explanation is that discontinued burning from aboriginees and, later, high country stockmen made the inevitable bushfires hot enough to destroy them. But there seem to be no burn marks on the dead trees.

Another is that a localised tree infection was carried from place to place by vehicles.

Does anyone know what killed them?
