Fig Tree Pocket caters to diverse lifestyles. Named for a massive fig tree that was said to be big enough to shade a herd of cattle, this pocket of land is bordered on three sides by the Brisbane River. It began as a remote farming community over a century ago, and some of the farms have given way to housing, but Fig Tree Pocket has maintained its rural character and sense of community. This suburb of abundant green space, wildlife, large properties and stately homes with river frontages can be found just over 9 klm from the Brisbane CBD with direct access via the nearby Centenary Highway.
