See Boab Prison Tree in Derby, Western Australia
The Boab Prison Tree, Derby is a large hollow Adansonia gregorii (Boab) tree just south of Derby, Western Australia. It is reputed to have been used in the 1890s as a lockup for Indigenous Australian prisoners on their way to Derby for sentencing. It is now a tourist attraction.
The tree measures more than 50 feet (15 meters) and believed to be more than 1,500 years old.
In recent years a fence was erected around the tree to protect it from vandalism.
