Locals say water had been running from under the pavement of Crown Street Woolloomooloo near this giant Celtis Australis tree for some days. Then on Monday down it came, crushing a Holden Barina which belonged to a local resident judging by the resident parking sticker on its windscreen. Local resident Sebastian Andrews arrived a few minutes later: “It happened at about midday,” he said. “The publican said water had been leaking into their cellar beforehand.”
Celtis Australis trees, a native semi-deciduous variety, are regarded as a weed by many arborists and the City has a policy of gradually removing them from streets.
