In March 2019, Jeffie, the CRL machine tunneling around Eden Terrace/Mt Eden encountered what appeared to be an ‘ancient’ tree, more than 20,000 years old.
It was found at 291m at 15m deep as we entered the basalt area, which indicated that it had been knocked over at the edge of a basalt flow and smothered by the lava rather than catch on fire.
