The Tree of Knowledge is associated with which Queensland town

Barcaldine
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.

It is said that in 1891 a group of protesting sheep shearers founded the Australian Labor Party under the tree.

Meeting records of shearers striking for better conditions show they were held at the main strike camp at the edge of the town on Lagoon Creek.

Non-union labour would arrive in the town by rail where they were met by the striking shearers.

These impromptu meetings arose at a Cabbage Gum tree near the station where the strikers attempted to rally union members to their cause and block non-unionists.

In 1892, at the foot of the tree, the Manifesto of the Queensland Labour Party, a foundation document of the Australian Labor Party, was read out.
