Municipal Inventory	Adopted	24 Feb 1998	Category 5	Category 5 Recognition of the site. No specific regulations would be imposed, except in the case where the site is within the bounds of a precinct, in which case the precinct category would take precedence. While the Shire recognises the value of the site, it would be a community and/or Shire responsibility to mark the site, as appropriate in future development, recognition or interpretation.

Statement of Significance

The tree that once stood at Snake Tree Corner was washed away in heavy water, so Mr. Dinnie resurrected the tree and placed its stump with the snake carved on it in a paddock near the corner of his farm. The corner is still known as Snake Tree Corner.

Physical Description

A corner in the road where a tree with Aboriginal carving of a snake once stood.
