To count the tangled roots of the Curtain Fig would take a week. It is one of the largest trees in north Queensland, and one of the best known attractions on the Tablelands. Its curtain of aerial roots drop 15 metres (49 feet) to the ground. Large basalt boulders cover the forest floor, which is probably why the forest here wasn't cleared for farming - and why the curtain fig tree remains standing.
