It is a Moreton Bay Fig and lives in Boonah. The landscape was so familiar, not that far from here, but drier. There was this mega volcano forever ago here. The lava stretched from around Boonah to down here, around 150km in diameter. This photo, in spite of what it says is a photo from, not of, the central core, now called Mt Warning.
The mountains in the distance to the south, that is called The Nightcap, behind to the north and north west is the Border Ranges. They create a rainshadow, so that Boonah to the north is much drier, around half the rainfall here.
