The words "My treasure is in the Billabong under the shade of the Coolibah Tree" are found in the Australian song "Waltzing Matilda," which is often considered Australia's unofficial national anthem. The song tells the story of a swagman who camped by a billabong and took his own life after being pursued for stealing a sheep. The imagery of the billabong and the coolibah tree evokes the Australian landscape and culture.
Once a jolly swagman camped by a billabong "under the shade of a coolibah tree".
Well the a billabong is the blind or dead end of a river and a coolibah is any of several Australian gum trees, in which is abundant along river banks and having sickle shaped leaves and wrinkled, cracked bark. So, basically the meaning of that quote is that the time that this person values most is the time he/she spends under the shad of the sickle-shaped leaves of the billabong or blind or dead end river.

This is a "coolibah" tree, sometimes spelt "coolabah", a type of eucalyptus (gum tree) found in both coastal areas and the drier inland areas, but along riverbeds and anywhere that flooding may sometimes occur. It grows up to about 15m high, spreading its branches widely to provide good shade for cattle (and swagmen...). The name of the tree is unique to Australia because it comes from the Indigenous Australian Yuwaaliyaay word "gulabaa".
In the song "Waltzing Matilda," the swagman is the one who sleeps under the coolibah tree. He is a drifter who carries his belongings, or "swag," in a bag known as a "Matilda," and he meets a tragic end in the song.
