The Secret Lives of Australia’s Oldest Trees

The Secret Lives of Australia’s Oldest Trees

Australia’s trees are more than just part of the landscape—they are living time capsules, silent witnesses to history older than we can imagine. In Tasmania’s temperate rainforests, Huon pines stand tall, their twisted trunks dating back over 2,000 years, their scent filling the air with a warm, woody perfume. In the Outback, ghostly white eucalyptus trees lean towards the sun, their bark shedding in papery curls, revealing smooth, pale wood beneath. Then there are the Wollemi pines—once thought extinct, these ancient giants trace their lineage back to the time of the dinosaurs, hidden away in a secret gorge until their rediscovery in 1994. Walking among these trees is like stepping into another era, a humbling reminder that nature’s story is far greater than our own.
