Germaine Greer talks about the hero of her rainforest, the rare White Beech tree.

Germaine Greer tells of her quest to find a piece of her native Australia to heal: the White Beech Tree. From January 2014.

The hero of Germaine Greer's rainforest is the rare White Beech tree although, with further research, she discovers it is neither white nor a beech. However, after years of misguided exploitation, it is one of the most endangered species of the forest. A tragedy she is determined to put right.
