When Apollo 11 splashed down in the Pacific in 1969, the recovered astronauts were sealed in a quarantine trailer for weeks because nobody could rule out lunar microbes, while around their capsule the ocean teemed with creatures far stranger than anything feared from the Moon

In 1994, a New South Wales park ranger abseiled into a hidden canyon outside Sydney and found a grove of conifers last seen in the fossil record 90 million years ago. The Wollemi pine's wild location remains undisclosed — and for biological reasons that have nothing to do with theatre. Read more
