This project seeks to record and contextualise Indigenous and non-Indigenous carvings and inscriptions on ancient Australian boab trees (Adansonia gregorii) growing in the Kimberley region of Western Australia. It will document a hitherto poorly recorded form of traditional Indigenous cultural and artistic practice, as well as information about the lives of Indigenous and non-Indigenous people living on missions and pastoral properties prior to and immediately following European Contact. The significance of the project lies in its ability to record information about the lives of people not captured in other types of historical documents. The project should provide ecological information about the condition of these Kimberley heritage trees.

该项目旨在记录和语境化土著和非土著雕刻和古代澳大利亚boab树（猴面包树）在西澳大利亚金伯利地区生长的铭文。它将记录迄今为止记录不多的传统土著文化和艺术实践形式，以及关于在欧洲接触之前和之后生活在传教士和牧场上的土著和非土著人民的生活的信息。该项目的重要性在于它能够记录其他类型的历史文献中没有捕捉到的有关人们生活的信息。该项目应提供有关这些金伯利遗产树木状况的生态信息。
