The Curtain Fig Tree is one of the best known attractions on the Atherton Tableland and is located just out of Yungaburra.

This fascinating and unusual tree is unique because of its extensive aerial roots that drop 15m to the forest floor, forming a curtain. It is from the strangler fig species, Fichus virens, and the curtain effect results from the roots strangling the host tree over hundreds of years, causing it to fall into a neighbouring tree. The tree is estimated to be over 500 years old, is about 50m tall, and has a trunk circumference of 39m.

There is a wooden boardwalk built all the way around the tree making it possible to view it from all angles. There is also a large platform from where photographs can be taken and an information board that explains the origins of the tree.
