The Memorial Tree
A Moreton Bay Fig was planted outside the Institute in 1910. When the addition of the Soldiers Memorial Rooms were added in 1922 the fig tree was moved to the foreshore. here it exists in all its splendour, still known as the Memorial Tree.
The view of the Memorial Tree shows the old Foreshore Jetty still in the background.
