Boz, how about a 3000 kilometer trip for Boab tree
Posted on July 30, 2008 - Filed Under News
all the way to Kings Park, in Perth city, from the Warmun in the Kimberley region of Western Australia a gift from the Gidjar people to the Nyoongar people, the traditional owners of the Kings park area. The boab is 14 metres high, weighs 36 tonnes and is estimated to be 750 years old. I cant remember how long it took to get here, and i have no idea about the logistics of moving something that size, road closures, police escorts, power lines, cars parked on the side of the road etc etc any way the short story is i went and took some photos of it on the weekend you can go look on my site if you wish 🙂 big boab photoComments

Hey, I don’t see our initials carved in there anywhere. 🙂
It’s a magnificent tree, a shame really, it had to be moved, but I guess that is better than just uprooting it and letting it die.
