Curtain Fig National Park, National park with a giant fig tree in Queensland, Australia.

The Curtain Fig National Park features a strangler fig tree with aerial roots extending 15 meters down, creating a natural curtain pattern against the host tree.

The park gained official national park status in 2008, protecting 1.95 square kilometers of land formed by volcanic activity over 350,000 years ago.

The Mabi forest within the park contains multiple endangered plant species, including the Lacewood tree and pink leaf haplostichanthus, essential to local ecological heritage.

Visitors can access walking trails near Yungaburra town, with designated viewing platforms allowing clear observations of the central fig tree structure.

The park provides shelter to Lumholtz's tree-kangaroo, a rare marsupial species that adapts to life in the rainforest canopy of northern Queensland.
