Eagle Street Fig Trees, Heritage fig trees in Brisbane, Australia
Three monumental fig trees, including two White Figs and one Banyan Fig, stand at the intersection of Eagle, Elizabeth, and Creek Streets in Brisbane.
Queen Victoria granted this triangular reserve to the North Brisbane Municipal Council in 1889, marking a commitment to preserve urban green spaces.
Walter Hill, the first superintendent of Brisbane Botanic Gardens, planted these trees that provided shade for workers near the bustling wharves and customs house.
The fig trees reach heights of 29 meters with trunk diameters of 7 meters, creating natural shade in Brisbane's central business district.
Bronze plaques beneath the trees reveal the path of Wheat Creek, which flowed through this area before it transformed into a commercial district.
