The tree commemorates the 150th anniversary of free settlement in Nundah.
The first permanent European settlement in the area was a mission built in 1838 by German Lutheran missionaries, under the guidance of reverend Carl Wilhelm Schmidt and later Reverend Christoph Eipper with the aim of bringing Christianity to the local Aboriginal people. They first called the area 'Zion', and the mission was located in the vicinity of the modern-day street 'Walkers Way'. It later became "German Station" and then 'Nundah', derived from the Aboriginal name for the area.
