The weekend of July 25th we joined the Queensland Teacher Exchange Group for a weekend in the Bunya Mountains. Steph is holding a pine cone from one of the Bunya pine trees. Between December and March pine cones fall from the trees(about 150 ft up) and they say you need to be very careful during that time not to stand too close to the base of the trees as the cones weigh about 10 lbs and could seriously injure a person. In the 1800's aboriginals used to travel from all around Queensland to the Bunya Mountains once every year to feast on the pine cones. (mmm...yummy)
