Geocache Description:


The Cazneaux Tree, also known as Cazneaux's Tree, is a Eucalyptus camaldulensis or river red gum that was made famous by the photographer Harold Cazneaux. It is located near Wilpena Pound in the Flinders Ranges of South Australia. Although the tree is located within the bounds of a pastoral lease, it is accessible all year round. The tree was listed with the National Trust because of its outstanding aesthetic beauty as significant tree #239 on the Trust's Register of Significant Trees.

The tree was photographed in 1937 by Cazneaux in a picture entitled The Spirit of Endurance which brought him international recognition. The tree is now an important landmark and a tourist drawcard for the area, attracting photographers and artists.

With a height of 29 m and a circumference at the base of 11.4 m, the tree dominates the otherwise flat arid plateau composed primarily of grasslands.

A plaque funded by Cazneaux's grandson, Dick Smith, was placed at the site in 1991.
