The Cazneaux Tree, also known as Cazneaux's Tree, is a

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.[1][4]

The tree was listed by the

National Trust of South Australia as significant tree number 239 on the trust's Register of Significant Trees because of "its outstanding aesthetic beauty".[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.[7]

With a height of 29 metres (95 ft) and a circumference at the base of 11.4 metres (37 ft)[8] the tree dominates the otherwise flat arid plateau[9] composed primarily of grasslands.

A plaque funded by Cazneaux's grandson, Dick Smith, was placed at the site in 1991.[10]
