Best Answer

The Tree of Knowledge is a ghost gum that used to be growing in the Main Street of Barcaldine, western Queensland (the tree was poisoned by vandals in 2006). This tree was the site of a meeting of shearers during the Shearers' Strike in 1891. 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. The ALP is one of the two major political parties in Australia.
