Big Fig

This lovely mature native fig tree is a remnant of the rainforest on the Great Dividing Range. It provides shade and elegance to the lookout and picnic area in Ravensbourne National Park, near Toowoomba in south-east Queensland. It is also no doubt home to various creatures and its fruit may be small, but they are an important food source for several bird species, especially Topknot Pigeons. The tree is known locally as the Big Fig.
