Tree of Knowledge (Australia)

(This article is about the tree in Barcaldine associated with the labour movement. For the tree in Camooweal, see Tree of Knowledge, Camooweal. For other uses, see Tree of Knowledge.) The Tree of Knowledge was a tree in Barcaldine, Queensland, Australia, which was regarded as the birthplace of the Australian Labor Party (ALP). This was because the town was the headquarters of the 1891 Australian shearers' strike where policy and decisions were made. It was a 200-year-old Corymbia aparrerinja ghost gum.
