This is the story of a boab tree in Darwin, enduring the test of time, witnessing the changes that take place around it. As it ages, it becomes a monument of nature and a symbol of survival through the history of Darwin. The Adonsonia Gregorii is a bottle-shaped tree endemic to Australia. Some trees can live over one thousand years. Some refer to them as “The Tree of Life”.
