It is in the Australian state of South Australia in the locality of Flinders Ranges near Wilpena Pound.

[1][2][3] The tree is located within the boundaries of the Ikara-Flinders Ranges National Park on the west side of the Flinders Ranges Way about 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) north-east of the Wilpena Pound Resort.

[5] The tree was photographed in 1937 by Cazneaux in a picture entitled The Spirit of Endurance[6] which brought him international recognition.

The tree is now an important landmark and a tourist drawcard for the area, attracting photographers and artists.

A plaque funded by Cazneaux's grandson, Dick Smith, was placed at the site in 1991.
