Historic Coolabah Tree
Highlights
Step into history and visit the Historic Coolabah Tree, a site of great significance tied to the famous Burke and Wills Expedition. This tree, located near the Hughenden Showgrounds, was marked by two relief expeditions searching for the explorers in 1861 and 1862. The plaques near the tree tell the story of these brave missions and how they revealed the fertility of the nearby plains.
It's a great place to learn about Australia's pioneering history and the challenges faced by early explorers. A visit here is like stepping back in time to understand the courage and determination of those who ventured into the unknown.
