Just had a look at the pics Sacha. While No.2 shows what appears to
be typical Ficus macrophylla trunk and 'butressing', the foliage and
fruits in No.3 are not F. macrophylla. I've had a ferret about and
found this pic of typical fruiting macrophylla material:

You can see that foliage and fruits are significantly different. I
don't know what No.3 is, but I do know it isn't Ficus macrophylla.


Thanks, David, though the mystery deepens! Perhaps someone from Australia
or NZ will see this.

Many apologies, I've just realised that the fruit pic is NOT the one Ray
took of the Moreton Bay figs! It was a hedge of some sort down on King
Edward Parade in Devonport, right outside the sailing club, just in case
that helps anyone to ID it We took hundreds of photos of various things and
I've muddled those up! The fruits we saw on the Moreton Bay Fig are exactly
as your pic shows them. Now all I need to find out is what those
'incorrect' fruits really are!
