Also known as Pink Cockatoo. This is one of six found at the old telegraph ruins at Eucla (Just inside the WA border) on the Nullabor Plain. They were perched, high up in the only tree for hundreds of kilometres.

In 1850, a fierce storm hit the Bay o’ Skaill on the main island of the Orkney island archipelago. In doing so, it ripped grass from a hill, then known as Skerrabra, to reveal the remnants of an ancient stone house. Further investigations revealed that the hill and its immediate vicinity had once been the site of a long-forgotten farming village.

Over the years, we at Bored Panda have released quite a few pieces on subpar design. And while these publications are incredibly fun to prepare and scroll through (just take a look at this one), we need to balance them out a little. After all, not every designer is an incompetent 3-year-old. Some of them are 4... light-years ahead of the competition.

As kids, most of us have dreamed of having a tree house as a safe haven - a secret place where we could establish a top-secret club house away from our pesky parents. Some of us still do. Here is a list of 17 of the most amazing treehouses from around the world - hopefully they will inspire to build one yourself!

Trees have been around for about 370 million years, and as you can from these incredible pictures, there's a good reason why they've survived for so long. Whether they're growing in the middle of gale-force winds, on the tops of rocky platforms, inside concrete tunnels, or even growing out of each other, these beautiful trees know how to survive in places where no other life finds a way. Which explains why the planet is host to around 3 trillion adult trees that cover an estimated 30% of the earth's land. Considering that plants produce the vast majority of the oxygen that we breathe, we should all think ourselves very fortunate that these cool trees are as resilient as they are. We wouldn't even be here if they weren't.
Let's face it, all trees are pretty amazing, but these ten are the world's most unusual trees and they are all interesting in their own individual ways.
This tree is a special type of healing tree. Its gift was discovered by a lady who was attending a garage sale and could see energy in the front yard near this tree. She was so amazed by its bright energetic light and the fact she could actually see a giant field of 'energy' emanating from the tree. Through telepathy, the tree communicated to her it took the negative energy from the area around it and transmuted it through its trunk and roots back into Mother Earth for cleansing. The owner of t

From leggy palms that "walk" through the rainforest to African teaks that "bleed" bloodlike sap, here are eight trees guaranteed to creep you out.
There is an awesome beauty in old age, in the broken and twisted forms that record a long tough time on earth, and in the life that goes on in spite of it all. Great Basin bristlecone pine, Pinus longaeva; White Mountains, California. This tree started its life around four thousand years ago, when fortuitous circumstances allowed a tiny seed to germinate and become established amid calcareous rock fragments, little moisture, and scant nutrient-poor soil. Young bristlecones on harsh sites grow slowly, adding an inch or less of girth each century. After five hundred years, the tree would have been in the prime of life, like the one to the left, sporting abundant green branches and fertile cones, and growing with the graceful symmetry of youth. But of course youth doesn't last. Over the next several thousand years, the trials of life left their mark. The top of the tree was broken off, and a side branch took over. Then the replacement crown itself was lost and replaced, creating a wooden pitchfork. Youthful symmetry was gone. Great Basin bristlecone pines, with distinctive pitchfork growth forms. Roots were exposed and killed by erosion, forcing parts of the tree to give up the ghost -- no more bark, no more needles, no more cones. Eventually there were only a couple of narrow winding strips of bark left to carry nutrients and water from the soil skyward, and to transport photosynthesized sugars from the remaining needles. By the time Edmund Schulman arrived in the White Mountains sixty years ago, this tree was pretty much as it is today -- mostly dead. This bristlecone is down to two strips of bark, one on each side of the tree. Edmund Schulman called them "life lines". It was Schulman who discovered the longevity of bristlecones in the White Mountains. In 1958, he reported there were 17 over the age of 4000, and the eldest, the Methuselah, was dated at 4600 years. This set off a flurry of research that continues today. The long-lived bristlecones have provided records of times and climates past, and insight into tree growth, reproduction and adaption to harsh environments. Perhaps the biggest attraction is their promise of the Secret of Long Life, for even though these trees are ancient, they still enjoy the vigor of youth. there s a dance in the old dame yet toujours gai toujours gai Like Mehitabel the old alley cat, down to just a single life, the ancient bristlecones still live it up. If you follow a winding narrow bark strip skyward to the remaining green branches, you will find not only needles but cones as well -- healthy cones with abundant pollen and viable seed, produced at rates suggestive of the heady days of youth. Yes, there’s life in the old dame yet! Cone of a bristlecone, 3" long; note the eponymous bristles. Even more impressive -- the oldest trees are the stunted ones on the harshest sites, growing just enough each year to keep a slender strip of bark or two alive, and to produce seed, which with luck the wind will carry to some equally inhospitable site. Great Basin bristlecone seems able to thrive on very little. What's the bristlecone’s secret to a long life? The harsh environment in which it lives is part of the answer. A bristlecone pine can grow quite well on more hospitable sites, but would be out-competed by other plants. There is little competition on dry rocky nutrient-poor soils at 10,000 feet elevation. The cold dry climate provides other benefits. Microbial growth is slow, and agents of rot and decay that plague trees elsewhere pose few threats to most bristlecones. Because plants are scarce and grow slowly, there is little litter on the ground to carry fire between the widely-spaced trees. But there must be something about the bristlecones themselves that allows them to survive for many centuries where few other plants can grow. They have quite a few tricks up their sleeve, actually. Here are some of them. Bristlecone needles stay on the tree 30 to 40 years! New ones are added each growing season, but if there’s a particularly bad year when needle growth isn’t possible, older ones supply carbohydrates 'til things get better. Bristlecone wood is dense and resinous, and highly resistant to rot, especially in a cold dry climate. But it is not entirely immune. The wonderful colors of dead wood are due in part to invading wood fungi, and chemical interaction between fungi and resin. Even a fallen tree takes a very long time to decay. In the meantime, the wood is sculpted and polished by wind, water and ice. A bristlecone pine is composed of sectors. If the roots of a sector are destroyed, only the tissue of that sector dies. The rest of the tree lives on. Left: sectored architecture and dieback. Finally, bristlecones don’t senesce. The small portion of an ancient tree that is still alive continues to grow with youthful vigor, producing healthy bark, needles and cones. Even its DNA shows no sign of deterioration. The seeds are viable, with no increase in mutation rate. Shortening of chromosomes, seen with aging in so many organisms, doesn’t happen in bristlecones. Can we really call these trees "old"? This ancient tree may be mostly dead, but what remains is still young! there s a dance or two before i m through you get me pet there s a dance or two in the old dame yet Notes and Information Sources toujours gai -- Fr.; always gay, happy, light-hearted mehitabel the alley cat and her cockroach friend archy were reincarnated by don marquis in 1916, illustrations by george herriman Discovery of the ancient bristlecones: Schulman, Edmund. 1958.
