This brave wench set sail to the ancient forests o’ Tasmania, seekin' to uncover the secrets of yore!In the year of our captain 2020, she led a crew on a dig that would make any pirate proud! With her trusty pickaxe, she stumbled upon fossils that told tales older than the sea itself! Her aim was to unveil the mysteries of the ancient ecosystems, and lo and behold, she found new plant species that’d make even the fiercest sea beast blush!
