Germaine Greer was a successful writer by 2001 when she decided to invest all her earnings to purchase 60 hectares of overused land for a price of 268,000 pounds in the midst of a rainforest in Queensland, Australia. It was a part of Gondwana forest that was logged during 19th century and converted to a banana farm during the 20th century. She left the place to itself so that the rainforest would regenerate, and by 2013 her experiment was successful, where a part of the overused land regenerated as rainforest.
