Giant Boab 'Gija Jumulu' in Kwinana

Beautiful gardens and beautiful views best to go spring.

Nice. This tree at King park

I like the back story of it and i live the birds that have made a home in it

I expected a bigger one but it is a nice boab with a singular story.

Kings park is fantastic. Great walking tracks with botanic gardens to make it interesting. Beautiful views of perth.

Impressive piece of history and even more impressive is the achievement of bringing it here to King’s Park whilst keeping it alive and well.The park itself a truly fantastic place that all are able to enjoy for free. An excellent amenity that the people of Perth should be very proud of.

Its all about where the tree is ...and was.

I think this tree is dead and that is why it is caged of so you can not touch it as it will fall over soon. Termites

Worth a look if youre already in kings park

It is awesome to see a huge giant sized age old tree that has been transported on a massive vehicle with live roots and planted in this new location. It survived !!!

The tree is beautiful considering how far its travelled. Have great respect for it.

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!

700+ year old tree.. Transported from Kimberley

Beautiful wild flowers and other flora to view and enjoy. Great place for the whole family.

A great place for the whole family including your fur babies. Stunning views across Perth.

Amazing tree, the park has much to offer, awesome free date day with the mrs

Very nice tree good views fom there

There’s a smaller version of it nearby too

Historic 750 year old tree. Very interesting journey also documented at the site. Located in Kings Park.

Great views over the river - lovely walks round Kings Park - interesting native plants - good parking

A beautiful sight. Attended a corporate function at Frasers and ended up taking it outside towards the end of the afternoon. Took a walk to the tree and it was amazing to see it there, most likely a very old member of the park

This may be the only boab tree South of the Tropic of Capricorn. It is an impressive specimen.

Very beautiful. What an amazing part of kings park. It should be advitised for people to see it more often.

Beautiful landscape and such a pleasant walk among Western Australia native plants and flora. Every season there is something worth seeing.

Beautiful botanical gardens, the Boat tree has a great view.

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.

Oow that boab tree ya. I did not realize that big tree has a name. I saw that three when i visited kings park last week. Id just taught "wow that tree so big" thats it.

terrific tree specific to this region. stores water...used by Aboriginals in desert. Good centarian.

If you know the history of the tree and it interests you then its pretty cool. Otherwise its a tree in a pretty B grade location. Its also a Pokemon go pokestop.

Always a great place to visit, with plenty of varied walks to find each time you go there

Pretty cool but people tend to deface it witch is a shame

Ancient tree set in Perths botanic gardens. Not natural to the area but was moved to the gardens from northern W.A.

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.

What sight and so good to see just how this beautiful tree made it through the years since replanted at Kings Park

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 gregoriiis related to the Madagascan and African Adansonia species known as baobabs. Like its relatives it is sometimes called a "bottle tree", but we locals refer to the trees as just boabs.There are two theories about how boab trees arrived in Australia. One says the seeds have floated here from Africa and spread from the coast. The other theory suggests boabs might have survived from the time when Africa and Australia were both still part of one continent, the ancient Gondwana, 65 million years ago.A mature boab tree is a sight to behold. Though not exceptionally high, up to 15 metres, they appear huge. The name bottle tree relates to the swollen trunk that can reach a massive girth of up to 20 metres.The boab is a very slow growing tree and it takes many hundred if not thousand years to grow into one of those impressive specimen. The images below show boab trees at different ages, 5, 50 and 500 years

Unique ..... many photos taken to remember this tree and after reading its story .... it’s just WOW!

Lets all spare the superlatives and be real...its a tree. A unique tree for this part of the world, but still a tree. Theres no need to take a pilgrimage here, or to stop and examine the tree for more than a minute.

Nearly 800 year old boab tree.

Very popular tourist attraction and walking area. Disabled access pathways and toilets nearby

This an amasing tree imagin living for 750 years and beimg moved from kimberly to kings garden wow.

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.

This tree is only one of the magnificent trees that you can see at the garden. To walk around the Botanical Garden is something that you shouldn’t skip.

Its actually two trees merged into one. Pretty iconic spot, great for couples.

The tree looks tired. I don’t know why, maybe because it’s old enough.

An absolute must-see even if youre only in Perth for a day. The story of this 750 year old tree is as incredible as it is heart warming. Worth viewing by night as well if you can. And there are quite a few other boabs dotted around Kings Park (though not so big or strikingif you care to look for them. Glad to know that the tree is a protected species. Not been to the Kimberleys (which is the trees natural habitatbut would love to some time. Must be incredible. Some of these boabs thought to be over 2000 years old.....

Breathtaking sight from the famous tree transported from the north of Australia.

This is point 3 of Perth Photo Walk #LocalGuides #BoabTree

A must see if you cannot get to the Kimberley region to see one in its "normal" habitat!! Very unique tree.

Great view of the Perth city skyline. Plenty of grassy areas surrounding this spot to sit/have a picnic.

Unique tree to check out. Also the information about how they moved it was very interesting.
