Eagle Street Fig Trees, Heritage fig trees in Brisbane, Australia

Eagle Street Fig Trees is a triangular reserve at the intersection of Eagle, Elizabeth and Creek Streets in Brisbane, planted with three fig trees: two White Figs (Ficus virens) and one Banyan Fig (Ficus benghalensis). The White Fig is the taller of the two species and its pale green foliage first appears pink or bronze. The Banyan's branches are held up by prop roots growing from aerial roots.

Walter Hill, Brisbane's first superintendent of the Botanic Gardens, planted the three fig trees around 1889. On 16 May 1889 Governor Sir Henry Wylie Norman signed a grant from Queen Victoria to the North Brisbane Municipal Council, gazetted the next day as a reserve for plantation and urinal only, at a rent of one peppercorn a year, with mineral rights kept by the Crown.

The reserve was created so carriers could rest and refresh themselves amid the wharf trade, and the trees still serve that purpose for city workers. Two bronze plaques on site record the site's natural features in 1889 and its earlier commercial role.

The site is easy to reach and sits in the business district, making it accessible during a walk through downtown Brisbane. The trees are accessible from all sides and offer a resting spot in the busy urban environment.

Two bronze plaques stand on the reserve: one on a small plinth records the site's natural features in 1889 and its earlier commercial role, while the other carries a map of the creek that once ran through the ground here. The creek is not named in the source.
