Swiss Family Robinson - The treehouse, subject of much debate. It's unlikely to have survived the 1963 hurricane if it was left after filming but where was it?

sfr005n. I found Kevin Kidney's website which may have done the hard work for me. Thanks to contributor Lennox Straker Jr, this may be the tree, a saman of the genus Albizia. It's just off Windward road at Goldsborough. SJ
