The Camden White (Eucalyptus Benthamii or Nepean River gum) is a species of tree that is endemic to New South Wales.
It can grow to a height of 35 or 40 metres with a trunk diameter of 1.5 metres. The bark is mostly smooth bluish grey or white, which is shed in ribbons.
They are found mainly on the alluvial flats of the Nepean River and its tributaries.
Unfortunately, they are now a threatened species. Camden Council, along with the CSIRO and NSW Government, is working to enhance the local population of these trees in suitable habitats.
Please be aware that this track passes through a working farm and therefore neither dogs or bicycles are permitted on the track.
