}}Landsborough Tree is a heritage-listed tree at Burketown, Shire of Burke, Queensland, Australia. It was added to the Queensland Heritage Register on 21 August 1992.[1]

History

The Landsborough Tree marks the site by the Albert River where explorer William Landsborough established a depot camp while searching for the missing Burke and Wills expedition in 1862.[2] He buried supplies near the eucalypt tree in case the explorers should come up upon it; he carved the word "Dig" into the tree.[2]

The brig Firefly used in the search was abandoned nearby on the riverbank.[3]

In December 2002, vandals set the tree alight, causing the trunk to fall over.[2] In 2007, it was described as "nothing but a small charred stump", but by June 2009 there was a sapling "replanted" alongside the dead tree to replace it.[4]
