The Wanaka Tree, That Wanaka Tree, That Willow Tree, The Wanaka Willow ... there are many names for the most famous tree in the world and whichever one you want to call it, we all know which tree you are talking about. The little willow growing in a lake in the town of Wanaka in the South Island of New Zealand.

The Wanaka Tree started its life as a branch acting as a farmers fence post over 80 years ago and has since become an absolute sensation and celebrity, being top of the list for many landscape photographers. Because of its popularity, That Wanaka Tree has been damaged both accidentally and intentionally - leading to outcry and signs being posted by locals to discourage visitors from climbing the landmark.

The Wanaka Tree is an easy 100 metre walk from the Wanaka Rotary Playground. There is a carpark nearby and just head left down the lake track and you will be at the tree in about 3-4 minutes.

Photography info: Best photographed at sunrise for the best light at golden hour and to avoid the crowds
