It was the idea of the youngest geo son, TT, to name this cache Ancient Trees. He was struck at the sight of one big tree here. It might not be the oldest tree in all of Australia - that might be the, Wollemi Pine. The Wollemi Pine clones itself forming exact gentic copies. It was thought to be extinct until a tiny remnant population was discovered in Wollemi National Park in 1994. There is evidence that the tree has been cloning itself and its unique genes since it disappeared from the fossil record 60 million years ago. So the the tree here may not be the oldest tree in Australia but it has certainly been around a while.
