    The Wollembi Pine is protected Miss Kate. I do have a friend in the National Wildlife Department who owes me a favor. But gals no promises. We both risk a hefty fine or a gaol term.

    Yep,it looks like a koala :) The clever scientists have now breed the Wollemi pine after someone came across it deep in the blue mountains ( near Craig ) before that it was classed as extinct .,,it’s a highly held secret where the one is located in the B.M

    Yep and we were at risk of losing this dinosaur tree in the fires that ravaged my state last year. But so precious is this.. reputed to be the world's oldest living plant.. that a special effort was made to preserve the small plantation located in a secret and isolated part of the Blue Mountains.. north of Sydney. (pic below)

    Note how the foliage on all sides is blackened but the WP plantation remains intact.. An extraordinary effort.
