ATHERTON TABLELANDS - Curtain Fig Tree


Curtain Fig Tree, Atherton Tablelands

A ranger drew our attention to a Boyds Rainforest Dragon climbing up one of the roots of the curtin fig tree as it is so rarely seen. It is unique to this area of the rainforest and is in limited numbers. Although the quality of the photos is poor they have been included as a reminder of this special viewing.
