This man deserves an Order of Australia award.
There's two HUGE specimens of that Dinosaur conifer in Russell st Bendigo, near the cemetary, they're about 20m tall. I had no idea they were rare.
Awesome

A piece of information, thank you.
Wonderful! I just hope it gets adequate protection in the future with all the risks of a destabilising climate. Gotta try though.
The first thing we do when we build a new house or sub-division is bulldoze the block of all vegetation and top soil. How refreshing when this isn't done.
Oh my word, what a treat. I hope when his lifes work is done, and Alistair Watts has returned to the creator, some benevolent organisation or person continues his wonderful work.
Smart man…..there’s nothing wrong with cutting down trees for furniture or anything else for that matter…..
Oh dear, more introduced species, that's exactly what our fragile ecosystems need 🤦♂
