It's known as the Boab Prison Tree, used in the 1890s as a lockup for Aboriginal prisoners on their way to Derby for sentencing. It's also connected with Aboriginal traditional religious belief and is a protected site.
Continuing our journey, we stopped over in Fitzroy Crossing, at the "posh" River Lodge which has a swimming pool and air conditioned bar. That kept us all happy for the afternoon.
Next stop, Halls Creek, which is not the Rough Guide's favourite place: "Wise travellers will fuel up and move on". Let's see. Meanwhile, here are some pictures of termite mounds.
They're all over the place and collectively look like graveyards. Very spooky indeed.
