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. In fact, there is no evidence that the Derby Prison Tree was ever used for holding prisoners.〔Vincent Serventy, ''Nature Walkabout'' (A. H. and A. W. Reed, 1967)〕 In recent years a fence was erected around the tree to protect it from too much human traffic, carving of initials etc., and compacting of surrounding soil by vehicles. ==See also==
