The Dig Tree – image Keith Skinner Very recently I achieved my long time ambition to visit Burke and Wills Camp number 65 on Coopers Creek, the very famous “Dig Tree”. At this point, if you are asking yourself; ‘What is a Dig Tree, forget it. Stop reading right now.

The rugged sandstone cliffs are up to 19 metres high, and includes an area of about 80 square kilometres.

Webster family trip, Queensland

Our trip took us west from Brisbane, north to Aramac to see the sculptures, then east for a coastal trip to home. Whilst we have had the books for our travels since 2011, I like the app because you include some information about the area we plan to stay in, and also directions for getting there rather than just the coordinates. We very much appreciate the work that Michelle and you, and your team, do towards
