Burke and Wills Dig Tree
The Burke and Wills "Dig Tree" is one of Australia's National icons and an enduring reminder of the pioneering spirit and extreme harshness of the outback at any time. Nappa Merrie Station is proud to officially manage the site on behalf of the Royal Historical Society of Queensland. Located on the northern bank of Cooper Creek the "Dig Tree" is a Coolibah (Eucalyptus microtha).
In 1898 John Dick carved Burkes face into another tree (the Face Tree) about 30 metres downstream of the "Dig Tree". The site is as Burke and Wills and companions would have viewed it nearly 140 years ago. These trees are an attraction and a link to the explorers of Australia's Historic Past.
