In this painting, Carol paints about the boab tree and its significance to Aboriginal culture. Carol pays respect to the Aboriginal people that have walked the land for over 40, 00 years. The yellow circles, represent the moon in different seasons. The oval shapes in the paintings represent coolamons. These are what the Aboriginal people use to carry the boab nuts, dried fruit and bush berries in. 

The boab tree is an iconic Kimberely tree, with stark leafless branches during the 'dry' and festooned with brilliant green during the 'wet'. The boab tree is unique to this part of Australia. Boab trees attract attention because of their striking and unusual shapes. They are very individual and have a spiritual presence about them. It is no surprise that the boab is regarded as a special tree. 

Regardless of how, or even when the boab reached the Kimberely region, it is held in high regard by the Aboriginal people of the Kimberley Region. They know the tree as larrkardi and regard it as having a strong spiritual presence. 

It features in rock art and also Dreamtime stories, where it was regarded as being too proud and arrogant and was punished by being re-planted upside-down with its roots in the air. Interestingly, the African Boab is also known as the "upside-down tree". This nickname stems from the Arabic legend which claims that a devil uprooted a tree and planted it upside down. 

The people from the Kimberley Region have utilized the boab in many ways, including: 

  • as a source of life-saving water in dry times. The central wood pulp is spongy and full of moisture;
  • The fibrous inner bark can be used for rope, baskets, and nets;
  • A red dye is made from the outer layer of tree roots;
  • The leaves and sapling tap roots are edible and very nutritious;
  • The seeds can be eaten raw or roasted;
  • Pulp from the seed-pod is high in Vitamin C and maybe mixed with water to make a citrus-tasting drink;
  • The empty seed-pods can be used for storage, and also carved for ceremonial purposes.

The boab is a valuable source of medicinal ingredients. The high Vitamin C and calcium content of young leaves and especially the seed-pod pith makes it a valued commodity. The bark is also used to treat fever, as it contains properties similar to quinine.

Not fur Surfing or other Water Sports
I got this in a swag bag from a surfing contest. The stick is very dry...that's the only way I can explain how it feels. It certainly doesn't glide on like other face sticks. After one wave and ducking my face in the water, the product smeared off and ran into my eyes. My vision got blurry from that, and it was really hard to see the waves coming in. I won't be using this product ever again. I also looked at the EWG website, and this product was given a 6. For those new to EWG, that's not a good rating. You want like a 1 or 2.

Too little product for the price
I was surprised at how little product you get for the price. After only two weeks, the bar already broke in half, and there's not much left. Additionally, it leaves white streaks, so you'll need to rub it in after applying. I still like the fact that it's got clean organic ingredients. I won't by the bar again, but I will try the spray

MUST HAVE BUT MAKE THE TUBE BIGGER OR CHARGE LESS!
Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Forget babies, at 30 years old I need a softening, nontoxic body lotion that rivaled Lush's sleepy lotion in affordability. THIS IS IT! Pros-Smells like heaven, has that subtle colloidal oatmeal-nutty scent with a light whiff of lavender or something subtle yet sweet. Great before bed time. Also, its an epic HAND CREAM, transformed my dry, over washed hands in three days of use. It's a light lotion, not greasy or runny. Pairs well under jojoba or shea nut oil for extra hydration. Cons- Came sealed, but quarter of the bottle wasn't full. Which leads to second issue WHY $11 FOR SUCH A SMALL BOTTLE??? And even worse I checked in the Babo site its original price is $14 so that's ridiculous. They must know grown women use this stuf,f not just babies. It's wasted on kids, their skin is flawless any way. It rubs in kind of odd, too much massaging it gets streaky, so rub it in a bit a let it soak in within 30 seconds. Last but not least MAKE THIS AN AFFORDABLE BODY WASH AND LOTION FOR WOMEN!

Love it
Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Eczema runs in my family and my poor little guy was starting to deal with dry itchy spots on his arms, legs and torso. Within a few days of use I could see the difference. His skin cleared up and we don’t deal with any dry spots anymore. His skin is super soft now. I spreads easily & his skin seems to soak it up nicely. The scent isn’t my favorite but it doesn’t smell bad. I think it’s a “hippy” scent but I definitely love the babo botanicals brand now. My brother deals with dry hands so I gave him a bottle of the lotion and his hands have cleared up significantly.
