Curtain Fig Tree, Natural wonder in Yungaburra, Australia
The Curtain Fig Tree extends 50 meters high with a trunk circumference of 39 meters, displaying long aerial roots that drop 15 meters down.
The tree became a registered Queensland heritage site in 2009, marking its importance in the development of Cairns hinterland tourism since the 1920s.
The tree grows in mabi forest, named by Ngadjon people, where the traditional habitat of Lumholtz tree-kangaroos remains preserved for generations.
A 180-meter elevated wooden boardwalk circles the tree, allowing visitors to observe this natural formation from multiple angles without entrance fees.
The tree formed when its vertical roots strangled a host tree, causing it to fall at 45 degrees against another tree, creating the curtain effect.
