Maternity Tree – where does the name come from? I come from Australia, In Australia there was a tree known as the birthing tree. It was 700 years old, giant River Red Gum tree, which had. girth of approximately 15 metres. Its hollow centre was used by the Dja Dja Wurrung people as a shelter for women giving birth. A small sign stands before the tree, which displays the text ABORIGINAL MATERNITY TREE… for so many years this tree was seen by the Dja Dja Wurrung as a safe place, somewhere that they could go to be protected by the elements to have their babies…. and that is why I called the practice Maternity Tree… a safe place, protected by the elements…..
