Bunya Bunya

The Bunya Bunya, or Bunya Pine, is a large evergreen tree native to southeastern Queensland, Australia. It can grow up to 50 meters tall and produces large, edible seeds known as bunya nuts, which have been a significant food source for Indigenous Australians for thousands of years. The tree is notable for its distinctive, rounded crown and can live for over 400 years. The Bunya Bunya holds cultural importance and is celebrated for its role in traditional ceremonies and gatherings. The Bunya Mountains, where these trees are found, are a popular destination for nature lovers and hikers.
