Harry’s Tractor

There was a time when Vincent St was a thin dirt road. At the top of the road, where it turns and follows the railway, there was a line of large cypress trees whose overhanging branches made it hard for the trucks carrying the hay for the dairy farm that lay beyond the railway lines to pass. Eventually council sent men to cut the trees down,  one cypress was left standing and this, according to hearsay was left because a local farmer, Harry, used it to park his tractor beneath.  The lonely tree is still there.
