Been many years since I first went to
Wyndham , 1967 and have not been back....yet, what my query is ,is about the Prison Boab and I know and you all know that it is at
Derby, Is there another at
Wyndham,
Just browsing these 2 websites and seen writings about one near
Wyndham.I think they might have made a stuff up.

Hi Doug T
Yes you are right there is a Prison Boab out on the
King River Road.
Keep heading towards Diggers Rest past the dam and it is on the right after the
river crossing.

Saw the
Derby one last in 07, An attempt has been made to fence it out to prevent damage, but people still ignore the fence to access the tree for photos, which is fine, but others hack at it
& scratch grafiti on it which isnt good. Dont know of the
Wyndham one, but there is a beauty in the caravan
park known
as "the largest in captivity".....oldbaz.
