Gija Jumulu
''Gija Jumulu'' is a boab tree (''Adansonia gregorii'') which was transported from Telegraph Creek, near Warmun in the Kimberley region of Western Australia to Kings Park in Perth. This was the longest land journey of a similar sized tree in history.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Boab Journey )〕 The tree was removed to make way for the construction of a road bridge on Great Northern Highway〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Community and the Environment Meet )〕 and was replanted at the Two Rivers Lookout, at the end of Forrest Carpark in Kings Park on 20 July 2008. The 36-tonne tree is estimated to be 750 years old and is named from the local indigenous people near Warmun, the Gija, and their word for boab trees, ''Jumulu''. Boabs are believed to live up to 2,000 years.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Big boab tree bound for Perth park )〕 The tree received some superficial damage on its southern side trunk during its journey south which resulted in some bark becoming rotten. Arborists at Kings Park have removed the damaged material and expect the wounds to eventually disappear.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Perth's big boab is doing well (audio) )〕 ==References==
