Giant Boab 'Gija Jumulu'
Every boab tree is unique. They have character and personality as you would expect of such an ancient creature. Some individual boab trees are 1500 years old and older, which makes them the oldest living beings in Australia, and puts them amongst the oldest in the world.Aboriginals used the giants as shelter, food and medicine. For the white settlers they served as easily recognisable land marks and meeting points, and not to forget as impromptu prison cells.The Australian boab tree (Adansonia gregorii) is related to the Madagascan and African Adansonia species known as baobabs. Like its relatives it is sometimes called a bottle tree"

This is a stunning boab tree located within Kings Park. There are lovely views of the Swan River. There is also some fantastic and informative signs about Western Australian history surrounding the area. There is also a public drink fountain located here.

Awesome tree, in size and age. The marks on the trunk are temporary and good health is returning to the biggest boab tree around!

If you are visiting Western Australia Kings Park is a must. The gardens are magnificent showing off the many wonderful native flowers of Australia. The open space of lawns and trees make it perfect for a picnic. The view back to the city over the water is beautiful. We attended prior to ANZAC day and a field of hand made poppies were planted representing a flower for every Australian soldier who had fallen. Plenty of parking and food outlets. Of course the trip to the park is not complete without seeing the beautiful Boab Tree that stands tall and proud. A magnificent tree in a magnificent park.

Originated from Kimberley region of Western Australia, this large boab tree, Gija Jumulu is one of the most beautiful sight of Kings Park. As one of the oldest living beings, every boab tree is unique and is a sight to behold. Living for more than 1000 years old, every part of this Boab tree is so full of life, hope and perseverance. Must visit.

Went at night and it was the main attraction, even outshining the city lights. Beautiful tree in Kings Park. There are lots of walks that start from the Boab tree, and all are a beautiful mix of city life and amazing bushland. Worth a visit, day or night!
