Wollemi Pines AuctionThe Wollemi Pines Auction was for the most extraordinary plant, thousands of people viewed the plants prior to auction day but only a few could afford to buy. A staggering $150,000.00 was paid for 15 trees which were grown from one of the original existing trees at the Wollemi National Park. This set of 15 trees is known as the Sir Joseph Banks Collection. The average price was $3600.00 for each plant. In April 2006 thousands of plants become available for public sale here in Australia for about $55.00 each.
