Position on map:
The Moreton Bay Fig (Ficus macrophylla), planted around 1926, is historically important for its symbolic association with the site of the first hotel built at Tugun. The tree is situated close to the modern day Pacific Highway and over the years has developed an aesthetic significance as a well known landmark in Tugun. The Fig has a special association with Patrick and Annie Diamond, managers of the first hotel in Tugun from 1925 to 1933, and subsequent owners of the 1933 rebuilt Tugun Hotel. The Diamonds made a notable contribution to the economic and social development of Tugun through their business activities.
