Big Fig, Miriam Vale, Heritage tree in Miriam Vale, Australia.
The Big Fig spans a wide area with its extensive root system and dense canopy, standing prominently near the Miriam Vale railway station.
The tree dates back to the early 1900s and functioned as a central collection point for dairy farmers delivering milk and cream until 1977.
Local residents gather under the shade of the Big Fig to socialize and participate in community events, continuing a tradition spanning multiple generations.
The Big Fig provides natural shelter along Station Street, with benches and resting areas available for travelers between Bundaberg and Gladstone.
The Gladstone Regional Council implements specialized root management techniques to maintain both the tree health and surrounding infrastructure stability.
