This is the Bunya tree. It is a monsterous pine that grows only in the Bunya mountains. Those three pine cones are filled with Bunya nuts! They are huge and tasty when baked. The pink flowers were growing all along the side of the road. It's a grass that is abundandt because of all the recent rain. Fortunately we are enjoying a very green, lush time. On the last day this foot race happened as a result of what I don't know. Riley kept winning and Bart kept insisting on a rematch until finally they tied! Of course, now Bart can hardly walk for the pain in his hips. Sprinting is, well, painful even under the best of circumstances. I can assure you he was in no way in shape for all out sprinting with no warm up what so ever.
And can you see the little wallabies out for breakfast? They didn't give us a second look!
