Discover the awe-inspiring Big Fig Tree at Berry, a true natural treasure ranked as a National Champion among deciduous figs on the National Register of Big Trees. Estimated to be between 500 and 700 years old, this ancient giant stands as a breathtaking remnant of the region's former rainforest.
With a circumference of 10.47 metres (412 inches), reaching 33 metres (108 feet) in height, and crowned by a sprawling 15-metre canopy, this majestic tree is possibly the largest in Berry. Nestled beside Bundewallah Creek within the Mount Vista Close Reserve, it offers a spectacular glimpse into the area's rich ecological history.
Visitors can access this remarkable site via a laneway at the end of Mt Vista Close, where nature lovers can take in its grandeur while exploring the serene surroundings. Plus, the Bundewallah Reserve welcomes leashed dogs, making it a perfect destination for adventurers and their four-legged companions. Whether you're a history buff, a nature enthusiast, or simply seeking a peaceful retreat, the Big Fig Tree at Berry is an unmissable landmark of Australia's natural heritage.
