The Robbers Tree
Highlights
- Explore the remains of the historic Robbers Tree, where bank robber Joseph Wells once sought refuge.
- Discover the rich local history on display at the site, offering insights into Cunnamulla's past.
- Reflect on the resilience of nature as you view the tree stump, a testament to time and events.
- Plan a visit to 6 Stockyard Street, where stories of adventure and intrigue await in Queensland.
At the southern end of Stockyard Street is the remains of a solitary tree on a sand dune where the bank robber Joseph Wells hid after making an armed withdrawal from the local bank in 1880.
Unfortunately the tree was struck by lightning in 2021 and damaged beyond repair. Plans are currently underway for a permanent memorial on the site, however the story and history of the Robbers Tree is still on display at the site of the remaining stump on Stockyard Street.
