This amazing giant fig is known locally as the Temple Fig although its common name is White Fig in line with other Ficus virens variations.
The tree stands sentinal in a cow paddock at Eungella, just out of Murwillumbah, NSW.
One does wonder that no one has sought to protect this ancient tree. Similarly impressive trees on the Atherton Tableland in North Queensland are protected and are in fact tourist attractions as indeed could this tree be.

This giant tree is a staple of Santa's Enchanted Forest, a tree I have visited and taken photos with since I was a child. Of course when I was little it seemed even taller...

Brendan and Aidan spent several days with us hiking in the Sierras. Calaveras Big Trees State Park north east of Arnold is aptly named because of the giant trees, many 250-300 ft high and 25-30 ft in diameter. These trees are also quite ancient, 2000-3000 years in age. Throughout the park one finds remains of trees felled by some ancient fire or lightning which burnt the inside of the tree, leaving them hollow and and providing charcoal lined tunnels for little boys to explore.
