The Dig Tree is a gnarled coolibah that stands in the burnt heart of the outback, beside the warm, green water of Cooper's Creek. |
Sites with clusters of deep pits are also fairly common in this region, but they differ from those to the east, such as at Coolibah. |
And here, in 1875, after floods had forced them to spend days perched in an old coolibah, Frank and his sons had taken up a cattle and horse-breeding station. |
Fewer and fewer people living in this country feel any cultural connection with jolly swagmen, billabongs and coolibah trees. |
Coolibah reappears but Charles O'Brien believes she will revel in the ground. |
The court is located on the corner of Coolibah Drive and Messmate Way, the same site on which the original 1970s-era court stood before it was demolished. |
