 The bunya
pine
(Araucaria
bidwillii) is
the
sole survivor of an ancient Gondwana lineage
within the Araucaria genus
(and one of the two
Australian species of Araucaria
that our tour company is
named after), a magnificent and distinctive
tree of great importance
(nutritionally and spiritually) to
the Aboriginals.
--------The Bunya Mountains north-west of Brisbane preserve the largest surviving stand of bunyas. Being in these forests has a primitive feel to it, the bunya trunks looking a bit like the legs of giant elephants amongst the ferns of the forest floor. A great bird life, mountain views and a well-maintained network of walking trails all add to the experience. You
will
stay
overnight in a lovely shared-facilities
chalet adjacent to the
ancient bunya forests, awaken to bird calls and
the sight of wallabies
grazing nearby. We will take a gentle guided
walk through the forest on
the afternoon of our arrival from Brisbane, and
another the following
morning, and you will have some free time to
take photos, go birding or
just relax.
