Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

It's lovely and unique, it's only a brief drive from the town of Atherton & other attractions, and there's only a short walk from the carpark, so it's very easy to visit. I was taken here as part of a day tour from Cairns, so I was pleasantly surprised, I've never seen anything like it, and I can only hope it's preserved and stays this way for future generations. Definitely worth a visit.

Definitely worth the quick drive out from Yingaburra. Plenty of free parking, no charge to enter. Be careful on the boardwalk if it’s wet as it’s a bit slippery.
The 500 year old fig tree is magnificent. There’s an information board describing how it formed. It’s a bit tricky to get the whole huge fig tree in one photo!

On walking into the area you are left wondering what you will see then there is this amazing curtain fig tree that is truly amazing. It is so wonderful to see trees like this in all their glory. Absolutely stunning and hopefully it is around for a long time yet. Nature in all its glory.

This is a very under rated place to go in Queensland. Clean and well signed with plenty of boards telling you about the Curtain Fig tree which is enormous and mystical in appearance. You feel you are seeing something from Avatar, Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings. But better.
It would take a really good photographer to capture the overall atmosphere created by this tree. The photographs I've included I have tried not to repeat what others before me have produced.
It takes someone with really good writing skills to capture just how fantastic this place is. One of the very best places to see in Australia. I came here on a whim and so glad I decided to go with my instinct. Just a marvellous experience.
Not a difficult walk to the Curtain Fig Tree. You go along elevated well maintained walkways and average fitness is all that is required.

Yep it's 2 trees strangled by a vine resulting in a beautiful site for a brief tourist stop.
Worth a visit if you're in the area.
6 minutes down the road is the Shaylees Strawberries with the tastiest soft serve ice-cream, milkshakes and sweets, so grab some and take a walk around the tree.
12 minute drive from Atherton. tree is accessible by a wheelchair friendly wooden boardwalk. I don't recall seeing public toilets there though. car park right next to boardwalk & walk is short.

There are many fig tree's throughout the tropics,
but this one has to be one the biggest we have seen.
We stopped here for the circular boarded walk as part of our tour.
Photo's do not do the vastness of this tree justice.
You will have to stop and see it for yourself.

Just 2km off the main route is this super-impressive curtain tree. Easily accessible for anyone, with information boards. Definitely worth a look!

We weren’t expecting much when driving to this national park on our way back to cairns but I’m glad we stopped by! I was amazed by the size of the fig tree and its aerial roots looked amazing.

Our Family of 6 stopped in to have a look at this beautiful tree. It is quite impressive. Only wish we knew how old is could be. Nice thing to see if you are in the area
