Professional harpist Emily Rosner plucks at the heart of Victoria's California Redwood Forest.

According to Heritage Council Victoria, the Board of Works planted close to 1,500 Californian Redwood (Sequioa sempervirens) trees in 1930 for research purposes. The East Warburton forest has since become heritage-listed.
