You may be refering to the establishment of the colony of South Australia in 1836. When the ship landed the proclamation creating the colony was supposedly read out under a gum tree.

The other significant meeting held beneath a gum tree was the meeting of the shearers during the Shearers' Strike of 1891. This occurred under a ghost gum growing in the Main Street of Barcaldine, Western Queensland. This meeting, to discuss the unfair conditions and wages for the shearers, eventually led to the formation of the Australian Labor Party, and is regarded as the birthplace of the ALP.
