termite-boab

Additional Information

Termite Boab.
In Aboriginal Dreamtime paintings the Boab was often painted upside down with its roots in the air as it was regarded as being too proud.
Its spongy centre is a source of life saving water and its leaves, roots and seeds can all be eaten.
Pulp from the seeds contains high amounts of vitamin C and the fibrous inner bark is used as a source of quinine.
Ropes, nets and baskets can all be woven from it.

A very majestic and spiritual tree found mainly in the Kimberly.

Painting in these heatwave conditions and thinking about the bush. Did you know birds sit under the trees when its really hot and not in the branches. These Boabs began their lives as giant termite nests but metamorphosis as the rain came down.
I hope it rains where its needed.
