The Old Gum Tree

34°58′13.42″S 138°31′14.21″E / -34.9703944, 138.5206139 The Old Gum Tree est un site historique pour l'Australie-Méridionale.

Situé à Glenelg North, un quartier d'Adélaïde, c'est l'endroit où le gouverneur John Hindmarsh lut le 28 décembre 1836 (Proclamation Day) jour férié dans l'État la proclamation de la création de la colonie d'Australie-Méridionale.

Chaque année, ce jour là, le gouverneur de l'État relit sur place la Proclamation.

L'arbre de l'endroit (très probablement un gommier rouge) est mort depuis longtemps. Il a été remplacé par un arbre en béton en 1963.
