Students in Kalumburu, a remote East Kimberley community, are shaping a new book drawn from local stories and the towering presence of one of the town's largest boab trees.

Kalumburu sits in Western Australia's far north Kimberley, an Aboriginal community some 550 kilometres by road from Kununurra.

Students joined Kwini storyteller and author Ian Waina, teacher Miss Georgia, and visiting Outdoor School students for a walk through Kalumburu, according to the local school.

"What a fantastic day of learning, storytelling and creativity," Kalumburu remote community school.

The group gathered beneath the boab tree, where Mr Waina shared the story of the Boab Nut Tree.

"It was a wonderful opportunity to connect through local culture and storytelling," the school said.

Back at school, older students teamed up with younger classmates to sketch boab trees.

Their illustrations are set to appear in a book slated for release next year, though details on its title, publisher, and storyline remain under wraps.

Mr Waina has a track record of bridging Kwini cultural knowledge with Western scientific research.

In 2022, he published his debut, Two Ways to See, a multilingual exploration of Traditional Owner knowledge and scientific perspectives on rock art in the far north Kimberley.

Kalumburu Remote Community School described the latest book project as "very exciting" for everyone involved.
