Under the Coolibah Tree is a 1955 Australian musical by Dick Diamond.
It was Diamond's follow up to his successful musical Reedy River and like that used bush folk songs.
[3] The musical was also performed at the Melbourne Olympic Arts Festival.

Local shearers become involved, as does a free settler and his Aboriginal friends, the ship's captain.
