Pay What You Can
Join us with special guest Tori Darke under Barcaldine’s iconic Tree of Knowledge for a true Outback welcome. Meet the locals, share a yarn, and enjoy a classic sausage sizzle hosted by the community.
This pay-what-you-want event is all about good food, good company, and great country hospitality — the perfect way to unwind and connect on your Outback Trail journey.
Supported by McCullough Robertson. Gold coin donations are welcome and appreciated. RSVP below, and enter how much you wish to pay!
Standing proudly in the heart of Barcaldine, the Tree of Knowledge is a symbol of Australia’s labour movement and the birthplace of the Australian Labor Party.
Beneath its branches in the 1890s, shearers and unionists gathered to shape a fairer future — and today, it remains a powerful reminder of unity, resilience, and community spirit.
