Prison Tree
The Prison Tree is situated just over 23 kilometres along the King River Road. This remarkable boab tree was used by the early police patrols as an overnight lock-up. These patrols would take regular trips out to the surrounding stations to collect wrongdoers and ensure all was well.
The boab tree is hollow with a hole cut in its side to form an entrance. It is a day's travel from Wyndham and with an easily accessible water supply, this natural cell was an obvious choice for a stopover. The prison tree dates as far back as the 1890s.
