Answer 7

En Queensland tenemos un árbol de la sabiduría ,un árbol que sabe más que

nosotros. ¡Qué triste es eso!

In Queensland we have a" tree of knowledge", a tree that knows more than us.

How sad is that ?

It is said that in 1891 a group of protesting sheep shearers founded the Australian Labor Party under the tree. Meeting records of shearers striking for better conditions show they were held at the main strike camp at the edge of the town on Lagoon Creek.. Non-union labour would arrive in the town by rail where they were met by the striking shearers. These impromptu meetings arose at a Cabbage Gum tree near the station where the strikers attempted to rally union members to their cause and block non-unionists.
