Tree of Knowledge
The Tree of Knowledge at Barcaldine - a dusty bush - is one of Australia's most famous historical trees.
The 150-year old ghost gum, Eucalyptus Papuana, earned its claim to fame as the founding site of the political movement we now know as the Australian Labor Party.
The tree was the main meeting place for townspeople and was then known as the 'Alleluia Tree' because the Salvation Army used to meet under its branches.
Meetings of bullock drivers ('bullockies") were also held under the tree.
