Sturt's tree

Lake Pinaroo (not far from Cameron Corner - where NSW, QLD & SA borders meet).

The tree marks the place of the Sturt expedition base camp in 1845 while in search of an inland sea that Captain Charles Sturt believed to be in central Australia.

The metal supports were added to the tree in the 1990's to help support & preserve its existence.

Important to mark these occasions in history. Is the tree still alive?

It’s just so desolate. What a harsh change of scenery for these British exploring the Aussie outback. This is Year 7 history class come to life :)

Excellent. Do you know the art of Robyn Mayo? Sometimes your photographs remind me of her watercolour work. I saw her 'Vast Exhibition' https://www.robynmayo.com.au/vast. The images in this link do not really do justice to the colours and intricacy of her work but may give you an idea.
