10,000 year old Trees of an Ancient Gondwana Rainforest
In the sub-tropical rainforest of far eastern Australia - an ancient ecosystem exists cloaked in a living mystery and magic.
Home to 10,000 year old Antarctic Beech (Nothofagus mooreii) a continental eco-tone where plant species from the asian sub-continent co-exist with those of Gonwanan origin.
Trees that evolved in a time when Australia was joined with New Zealand, Antarctica and South America - where Tree Kangaroos, platypus and birds of paradise emerged from the cauldron of earthly consciousness.
These lush, ancient ecosystems once covered the entire super-continent known as Gondwana - an ever-evolving self-regenerating forest super organism.
As the land dried out, the forest became smaller and smaller - now existing as islands of mega biodiverse lushness - in a sea of open forest, farmland and human settlements.
Our ancestors from the land before time.
