The Boab tree, (Adansonia gregorii) with its distinctive bottle-shaped trunk and character like presence, serves as a captivating symbol of the Kimberley's unique landscape. If you’ve ever been to the Kimberley, you can understand how intriguing the Boab tree is. Boabs capture your imagination, spark curiosity and each one is completely different to the next. Boabs are not only visually stunning but also hold significant cultural and ecological value, with some being aged over 1500 years making them the oldest living things in Australia & most of the world.

• At Black Rock Tattoo, we respect the Traditional Owners of the land and the profound cultural significance of the Boab tree, which has been essential to the Miriwoong and Gajerrong people for centuries. 

'Gerdewoon’ – Is the Miriwoong name for the iconic Boab 

Miriwoong country is a large area of land in Northern WA and spreads just over the border to the NT that is sacred to the Miriwoong people.  

• Every part of the Boab tree is versatile and usable, with most of the Boab being edible. It has 6 x the amount of vitamin C than oranges and twice as much calcium as milk. It’s rich with vitamins and minerals such as vitamin A, B1, B2, B6, and phosphorus, iron, sodium, zinc, magnesium and potassium. It harnesses a lot of medicinal remedies that the locals have been using for years.
