Stringybark Creek, Heritage river site in New South Wales, Australia

Stringybark Creek winds through dense forests of eucalyptus trees, with natural formations creating varied water patterns along its course.

In 1878, the creek became the location of a confrontation between law enforcement and the Kelly Gang, resulting in three police officers losing their lives.

The creek holds significance in Australian folklore through its connection to the Kelly Gang narrative and the Victorian gold rush period.

Visitors can access the memorial site and discover archaeological remnants, including two preserved miner's huts on the western bank of the creek.

The Kelly Tree at the creek features carved names of fallen police officers from the 1930s, with the tree's growth gradually incorporating an iron helmet.
