The Robbers Tree
Highlights
- Explore the historic site of the Robbers Tree, where bank robber Joseph Wells once sought refuge.
- Marvel at the remaining stump on Stockyard Street, a poignant reminder of local history and heritage.
- Learn about the tale of the tree, struck by lightning in 2021, now part of Cunnamulla's story.
- Visit the site as plans unfold for a permanent memorial, enriching your understanding of this unique landmark.
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.
