On the principle of better late than never, I hereby join my friend Marji Puotinen in some serious tree-hugging for the planet. Well, hugging a seriously huge tree is not easy.

A giant red penda near Kuranda in far northern Queensland. This tree may well predate the British invasion of the continent. Its memoir would be wonderful.
