AUSTRALIA CLAIMS TREE TITLE

Australia claims the world's old-

est tree. It is known as "Old Peter," and is found in the tropi cal forest to the north of this country which abounds in strange things.

The age of the plant has been set down as 15,000 years.

·

"Old Peter" is a giant macro- zama palm growing on the sum- mit of Tambourine Mountain, in the south-east corner of Queens- land. The State which holds it also provides another: puzzle for the botanists. It is a group of Antarctic beeches, recently dis- covered growing on the summit of a peak in the Macpherson. Range, one of the highest moun- tain chains in Queensland.

-

The Antarctic beeches are held to be remnants of the forest growths of the last Ice Age and they are said to get their name from the fact that Antarctic, ex- lorers have found fossils of the trees amidst the blizzard-swept icy wastes of the Far South.. To- day, it appears, the beeches are found growing in only two re- gions in the world, Queensland, a place of tropic heat, and Tierra del Fuego, where the climate moves to extreme of cold,

Botanists have long puzzled over the presence of the trees in Queensland, and some hold them relics of times when this country was just emerging from the gla- cial..age.
