🌳 Did you know Cunnamulla is home to one of Queensland’s most fascinating bushranger stories?Hidden away at the southern end of Stockyard Street stands the remains of the famous “Robbers Tree” — the very spot where bank robber Joseph Wells hid after holding up the Queensland National Bank at gunpoint in 1880.After accidentally shooting a local storekeeper during his dramatic escape, Wells fled through town before disappearing into the bush. Police searched tirelessly, but it was a persistent sheep dog that finally gave away his hiding place — barking beneath the tree where Wells was concealed high in the branches.The case sparked statewide debate and ultimately changed Queensland law, with armed robbery later removed from the list of capital offences.Although the original tree was struck by lightning in 2021, visitors can still explore the historic site and discover one of Outback Queensland’s most remarkable true stories.📍 Visit Cunnamulla and uncover the legends of the outback.#Cunnamulla #OutbackQueensland #QueenslandHistory #VisitOutbackQueensland #AustralianHistory #OutbackStories #ExploreQueensland #HistoryLovers #SeeAustralia ...
