More "Digging" the Tree

I'm in a 60's mood. :). Digging stuff was so 60's.

The Burke and Wills expedition would include plenty of detail to fill several books. On this site there is quite a lot of information on many well presented signs.

Only one of the original blazes remains visible with another, the face blaze having been added as a tribute to Burke many years later. On another tree quite distant and not noted on any of the info there is evidence of another blaze. The inner core of the tree is gone so the detail no longer remains. It could have been there with other info originally.

Blazes grow over with time and can be lost due to tree damage, termites or bushfire. This can be quite quick over a few years, or if a mature tree was blazed may take many years.

Overall this is an interesting spot and a decent place to camp.Read more
