'Great care had to be taken to ensure that the dead and brittle tree was not damaged during removal and transport to the Museum. A prefabricated, padded cradle was erected around the tree to enable it to be lowered to the ground by a mobile crane.' [Robert Edwards in article entitled 'A Unique Tree from Mannum, S.A.' in the Friends of the South Australian Museum Newsletter (no. 4, June 1967).
