Cathedral Fig Tree
Highlights
The Cathedral Fig Tree is a giant strangler tree that has been growing for over 500 years! It's one of the best places in the Atherton Tablelands to hear birds singing in the early morning. Walk along the boardwalk to explore its enormous roots and learn about the fascinating rainforest around it.
Fun fact: The tree's roots are so big that they look like walls you can walk through!
