Eagle Street Fig Trees historic precinct upgrade
August 15th, 2008
I see that the Brisbane City Council is upgrading the area around the historic Eagle Street Fig trees with a new paved area and changed traffic conditions.
The figs apparently date back to the 1889 when a creek, known as Wheat Creek flowed around them into the Brisbane River.
They are now listed by the National Trust of Queensland and the Australian Heritage Commission and are one of Brisbane’s greatest aboricultural landmarks.
