It looks like Ficus sycomorus or biblical sycamore.

This is the tree that is referred to in the bible as a sycamore. Some fellow climbed one to get a better view of an important bloke one day.

I saw one in the botanic gardens Brisbane last year. This one looks the same but can't say for sure without a closer shot of the leaves. Definately a Ficus though.

This one is growing well for it's site.

Cheers
