Giant Boab 'Gija Jumulu'

Such a beautiful tree, hard to believe it's around 750 yrs old!

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.

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.

Everything about this tree is incredible, shape the history and how it was ported to here

Beautiful tree 🌳 😍

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!

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

A beautiful sight. Attended a corporate function at Fraser's 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

An absolute must-see even if you're 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 striking) if you care to look for them. Glad to know that the tree is a protected species. Not been to the Kimberleys (which is the tree's natural habitat) but would love to some time. Must be incredible. Some of these boabs thought to be over 2000 years old.....

700+ year old tree.. Transported from Kimberley

Cool

I hope it will heal soon.

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

Beautiful place, should go there. Thanks peace
