Situated beside the tramway and electricity Substation No. 12 that was built in 1947, the fig tree contributes to the streetscape at the entrance to two of Brisbane’s most prestigious suburbs, Ascot and Hamilton. Planted in a period of civic beautification through an extensive tree planting and park improvement program under the leadership of Harry Oakman, Parks Superintendant of Brisbane City Council, the mature rubber tree reflects this era in Brisbane’s history. History The value of the Hamilton district had been recognised from the earliest settlement of Brisbane. And by the late 1840s wealthy free settlers were attracted to the Hamilton area by the elevated hilly country which offered river views and sea breezes. However, rough and swampy roads deterred settlement generally and residential development in the area was slow. By the 1860s the Hamilton area had become renowned for the establishment Date of Information — June 2010 Page 1 of several grand residences, for example Toorak, a stone residence on the top of the hill on Annie Street built for businessman James Robert Dickson in 1865 and Eldernell, another grand stone residence built in 1869 for William Hemmant atop of another of Hamilton’s hills.
