There are Moreton Bay figs in Adelaide's parklands and even around the cricket ground, at the back of the stand, providing shade for hundreds, perhaps thousands, of cricket watchers. I hope some are still there, there has been a fair bit of development.

ETA, google search indicates only a few token trees have been left, and the crowd now sit in the shade of the giant TV screen. But, I do love ancient gum trees.

When I was looking for a pic to share I did notice that there were a number of pics of them from the US. They're a pretty hardy tree, and not really very particular about soil type or anything. They pretty much grow like weeds where ever they take root.

It started with an oak, not a date.

Just noticed a flaw in the original pic. Mods have already fixed the first one.
