The Wanaka Tree
The famous Wanaka Tree in New Zealand’s south island has been vandalised.
A willow tree at the southern tip of Lake Wanaka, which appears semi-submerged in the water and is a favourite photography location, was attacked by someone with a saw sometime around March 17, according to Stuff.co.nz.
One local told Stuff, "The famous lower branch that hangs horizontally out over the water that is really picturesque has gone."
Locals reported seeing some branches that had been sawed off washed up on shore.
