The Moreton Bay Fig Tree
The Moreton Bay Fig Tree in Carlton Gardens symbolises an important meeting place in Victoria's Aboriginal history. The tree was a central meeting point for Aboriginal leaders to address the community, talking about social and political issues facing Aboriginal people in Victoria. Aboriginal leaders including Pastor Doug Nicholls, Jack Patten and Margaret Tucker addressed crowds at the 150 year old Moreton Bay Fig Tree which still stands in good health today.
