context_page_description: Landsborough's Blazed Tree (Camp 69) is a heritage-listed blazed tree at Mitchell Highway, Bakers Bend, Shire of Murweh, Queensland, Australia. It was marked by William Landsborough. It was added to the Queensland Heritage Register on 18 June 2009.
context_section_description: The blazed tree that marks Landsborough's Camp 69 is a Coolibah (Eucalyptus coolibah) located near a tributary of the Warrego River system on a grazing leasehold of just under 684 hectares (1,690 acres), about 29 kilometres (18 mi) south of Charleville off the Mitchell Highway near Bakers Bend.
  
  The blaze on the trunk reads:
  V.+Q. EXPN
  L.C.69 MAY 16 1862
  The lettering varies, perhaps evidence of one person starting the blaze and another completing it, with the "V+Q" being broader lettering than the remainder.
  The blaze appears to be made on an existing Aboriginal scar, which Landsborough's party likely enlarged and cut to suit their needs.
