Sydney is facing a tidal wave of development and much of our Aboriginal and Colonial artefacts and cultural icons are being drowned in the process.
Many Bunya Pines were planted in the 19th Century at homesteads, places of worship and government business. Once you start looking, it becomes obvious how very important they must have been to colonists as they navigated from town to town on horseback, amongst thick scrub and bush.
I intend to showcase a variety of Bunya Pines and discuss why they were planted at their location. If the historic home or building is still in situ, I will post a photo of the site as well.
