ABC reports on Mayor Bob Abbot - a great supporter of sustainability over the years against all odds...
A 73 metre high Forest Eucalypt believed to be the state's tallest tree has been announced as the state's latest environmental icon. Hidden in dense forest of the Conondale National Park on the Sunshine Coast, the tree has been nicknamed 'Big Bob' in honour of local Mayor Bob Abbot, who will retire next month.
