Well, I went "about here", and the tree is about not there.

What I need is a clue to how to find it without a clue.

I knew I wouldn't find this when I saw "should be easy". I have a history of such puzzles in the past with the mention "easy" that I could never find.
Even with the second clue that shows where the place is it took me one hour (over breakfast and on my phone though, I admit).
I agree with jesusmx , I couldn't find any news about a drought there, even with the name of the place. And the BBC news thing, I looked for drought Australia there and could not find it. I found one in Nyngan. And that's provided if you knew the drought was in Australia. There are many droughts in the world right now, at least I learned that.
So without the news it would have taken me months to find this. With ten hours of search a day.

I'll be glad to see the news item.
Also,when I saw the first clue ("about here") I looked at the coast, because the arrow pointed to the coast, and because rivers are supposed to go to the sea... But this elusive tree was inland. And ten miles from the arrow!

Ok, I'll finish breakfast now. My coffee's cold.

The answer is :

SPOILER: Click to show

Cakora Lake, in New South Wales.

The BBC news item is www.bbc.com/news/av/world-australia-55642974

The Australian ABC's news item is www.abc.net.au/news/2021-01-12/lake-cakora-tree-of-life-aerial-photographs-go-viral/13047686

So much to see. So little time. One lifetime is not long enough!

Thank you ozlingula, I would have never thought that...

SPOILER: Click to show

...the tree itself was in the news! There are so many such trees in GE! So I looked for DROUGHT in the news, not trees. :/

Finally, I now understand how this could be found so easily. I tried the right key words in google news and bingo. It's a great feeling or relief. Thanks!

What I need is a clue to how to find it without a clue.
