Australian Outback- Plant ID?

May 24, 2013

Anyone know what this is? It looks like a Woelemi Pine but I doubt that that's it.
I think it is a Wollemi pine. They are widely cultivated around the world now, and are easily obtained from nurseries in the USA.
 
you'd think they'd have a sign with it though if it is a Wollemi (or even if it isn't, I guess). It would be an interesting story for anyone who stopped to read.

Some zoos won't educate you in stuff you're not interested in. Its not like they're goal is to foster care and concern for nature and wildlife.
 
I thought it might be a Bunya Pine, but the leaves look like Wollemi.
 
I originally thought Bunya-Bunya might be more likely but I googled some pictures of it and the leaves looked all wrong. Wollemis have those funny twisted branches so that's what I figured it probably was.
