Located at the Richardson River, the Bullock's Head is one of Donald's better known landmarks.
Some years ago a former Donald resident, Jack Moore, approached the local newspaper office to see if they were interested in taking a photograph of a Bullock's Head in the river. He remembered it from some 60 years ago when he played there as a kid. The thing was, people couldn’t believe what he was saying. After all, this location is only 50 metres from the Shire depot and a popular location by the river....
Well it turns out that for 50 or so years the Bullock's Head was hidden behind a thick screen of peppercorn and other foliage, but there it was there, just as Jack said.
The Bullock's Head is in fact a parasitic excrescence attached to a tall box tree in the river. The Bullock's Head indeed looks like its namesake. You can see its curly forehead, eye, snout and curved horn. Amazing stuff!
The tree actually fell down during the recent long drought, but it was reinforced with fibreglass and with the help of a steel post it was soon put back into position.
The cache is a small bison tube with a log only.
