Cazneaux Tree

The Cazneaux Tree is a famous River Red Gum (Eucalyptus camaldulensis) standing alone on a plain in Flinders Ranges National Park, South Australia, near Wilpena Pound. Made iconic by Harold Cazneaux's 1937 photograph 'The Spirit of Endurance,' the tree is celebrated as a symbol of resilience in the arid Australian landscape. Fenced for protection, it remains a major photographic landmark and accessible roadside stop within the national park.

Visitors can expect a solitary, large River Red Gum standing in an open arid plain with Flinders Ranges escarpments in the background. The tree is fenced for protection with a small gravel car park and interpretive signage explaining its history and Harold Cazneaux's photograph. The site is an open, exposed roadside stop with no shade or buildings, primarily for viewing and photography. The surrounding landscape is semi-arid with native grasses and distant ranges.
