I read somewhere that a grove of ancient “dinosaur” trees were discovered in an obscure niche in Australia. The seeds, I heard, were going for about $80 each.

Anyone remember this?

The single known population of Wollemi Pine is in a rainforest gully within Wollemi National
Park (487,648 ha). This is the State’s largest wilderness area - located West of the Putty Road
between Sydney and the Hunter Valley.
