Welcome to the Dig Tree Reserve

DIG TREE RESERVE VIDEO

In 2020, The Royal Historical Society of Queensland was proud to launch the Dig Tree Visitor
Experience Redesign Project which included a new path, boardwalk and signage, replicas
of all six blazes and remedial works to the bank of Cooper Creek to protect the roots of the
heritage-listed trees. Now, in 2024, we are happy to introduce our all new cutting-edge Wi-Fi.
Visitors now have free and open access to the Wi-Fi at the Dig Tree courtesy of The Royal Historical Society of Queensland. This allows for the payment of the Conservation Fee at the entrance to the Dig Tree Reserve by using the QR Code as well as use of the Wi-Fi to make telephone calls, texts messages, and use the internet. Alternatively, visitors may still book beforehand on the website or by placing cash by in the honesty box at the entrance to the Reserve.

ENTRY

There is a conservation fee of $20 per vehicle, or $60 per bus to visit the Dig Tree. This will go towards funding the preservation of Australia’s heritage and will grant you access for six months.

Please be aware that the environment in the Dig Tree area is extremely fragile. If you are in the area of the waterway, take care as bank erosion is made worse by human traffic.
