The Saga Tree is a deciduous tree that grows up to 20m tall. It is hardy, fast-growing, and low-maintenance. It has a large spreading crown, making it suitable for providing shade in large gardens. The characteristic scarlet seeds are known for their uniform weight: 4 seeds make up 1 gram. Because of this, they were used widely in the past as weight measures for gold and silver.

Main Feature

Bocelli, who was born blind, kept his eyes closed throughout the performance – reaching out to the audience with the sheer depth of his vocals.

Bocelli’s duets with Australian songstress Delta Goodrem delighted the audience with their melding of classical and pop styles.

The venue placed the outstanding performance against a backdrop of nature’s beauty. Even the crickets of the forest couldn’t help but chirp along.

Besides the lucky concertgoers who had tickets to the seated area, many others managed to enjoy the performance at the Palm Valley, as the concert was broadcast onto large screens there.
