You might also try posting those pics to the aus.gardens group and asking
there.

As the first pic was downloading, there was a lot of detail of the trunk and
there was a section of the trunk that had that flowing aerial root
downdrooping strangler look to it that some of the fig family has and in
fact one of the Moreton Bay forms IIRC.

I don't know much about figs as they won't grow in my area but some of the
Oz groups people do live in hotter climes and one of them is very
knowledegable about all things plant related so it might be worth your while
asking there.
