Holiday Fun

I like the one on the right. Y'all????

 

Kate, it looks like there is a koala in the tree. Just near half way up and to the left.

 

Thank you Miss Kate.. you scrub up pretty good yourself.

 

She do, don't she?

 

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

 

Hubba bubba Miss Shirley. Do you have a date.

 

If ya sneak out at nite to get one we will watch out for you ...I’d love to see a real Woolemi as I love pines ( 99% of my front yard is low growing pines

 

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.

 

Have you seen it or the area Craig ? I know you love exploring but I believe it’s very deep down in the gully’s and like you say protected ...so it should be

 

We better not get one from the wild. I'm a tree hugger, y'all. The the one that Craig posted looks just right to me. What do y'all think?

 

Never. I just hope some terrorist dont fly over it and try to destroy it.

 

All good ..I’m a tree hugger as well ..I hate to see any living plants destroyed

 

So, we have our tree.



Now we need to get our food. Kate and Craig, do y'all have traditional Christmas foods?

 

Traditions have changed heaps over the years ,we still like a bit of roast pork cooked in the Webber BBQ kettle
