Our botanical journey takes a cultural turn as we encounter the 澳大利亚 cypress tree. 

超越自然美景, this tree holds significant cultural importance for 澳大利亚's Indigenous peoples. It's a symbol of resilience, survival, and connection to the land. It’s important to explore the foundations of the Indigenous people of 澳大利亚, as 澳大利亚 itself has recently found itself rediscovering its Aboriginal background. As we admire the cypress tree’s majestic presence, we honor the rich heritage and traditions of the Aboriginal communities.
