The Robbers Tree, Heritage-listed tree in Cunnamulla, Australia.

The mature Cypress Pine rises 15 meters high near Stockyard Street, marking a significant location in the Warrego River district of Queensland.

In January 1880, Joseph Wells used this tree as a hiding place after robbing the Queensland National Bank at gunpoint in Cunnamulla.

The tree holds deep connections to local narratives about bushrangers and law enforcement in nineteenth-century Queensland outback communities.

Visitors can locate the tree along Stockyard Street in Cunnamulla, where information panels explain its registration on the Queensland Heritage Register.

This Cypress Pine witnessed the last armed robbery case in Queensland that resulted in capital punishment, as Wells was executed in March 1880.
