"They" just moved one from up north and replanted it in Kings Park.

I'm a commandline kind of person:
cd /
du -mx --max-depth=2 | sort -n | tail -40

My technique works on any linux (and likely any Unix) system without 
installing special tools. Since I maintain a variety of systems, some 
without any GUI, that's fairly important.
