Australian BicentenaryPrint Page 
The plaque states that a tree was planted at the Goola Carbi Gnamma Holes to commemorate the Bicentenary of Australia in 1988. It appears that the tree has died. The townsite of Coolgardie was named here in 1892.
The Bicentenary marked the 200th anniversary of the arrival of the First Fleet in Sydney in 1788. Captain Arthur Phillip (1738 - 1814), commander of the First Fleet, established the foundations of a British colony at Sydney Cove on the 26 January 1788.
