The boab tree
A beautifully photographed tribute to this remarkable tree of the Australian outback. Aboriginal people have long known the value of the Boab, to hold water and as a reliable navigational aid. Found in only a few corners of the world and thought to be a remnant of Gondwanaland, some Boab trees have held their place in the Australian outback for up to 1000 years.
