Edits of 18 December 2019[edit]

When I arrived to assess the article's importance, I noticed that it had several problems:

Firstly, the article reads as being about a forest which is located in the protected area called the Blue Mountains National Park. However, it was described in several places in the article as being a separate protected area which is not supported by any reliable sources including an official webpage - please refer https://www.nationalparks.nsw.gov.au/things-to-do/historic-buildings-places/blue-gum-forest . Content re a separate protected area has been removed.
Secondly, the ICUN category used in the infobox is for the Blue Gum Hills Regional Park which is located near Newcastle, New South Wales while the Blue Gum Forest is located within the Blue Mountains National Park which is located to the west of Sydney and about 80 to 90 kilometres to the south-east of the Blue Gum Hills Regional Park. The 'protected areas' infobox has now been replaced with the more appropriate 'forest infobox'.
