Abstract
The article focuses on a 190-year-old native white cypress-pine (Callitris glaucophylla) located in Mungo National Park, New South Wales, which stands as a solitary sentinel over a long-dried lake bed. The tree has survived environmental challenges and human impact, including the predation of its seedlings by introduced species and the cutting down of saplings for construction. Despite its isolation and the harsh conditions it endures, the tree continues to thrive, providing shade and a connection to the area's history, including its significance to First Nations people. Visitors are encouraged to appreciate the tree's resilience and the stories it embodies. [Extracted from the article]
