That's a fig of some sort... should grow well in Rockhampton.

Welcome Harryf6,
Looks like it could be a Port Jackson.
You should have fun whilst learning with this.

Thanks for the replies, Yer I thought it was a fig of some sort but not sure what type. I didn't think it was a port jackson because I thought this other bonsai I have was a port jackson fig?

I have one or two just like yours, and to be honest I don't really think it's ever going to be possible to ID correctly from a photo, especially without shots of the fruit, more leaves, and possibly the bark.

It'll grow like topsy in your climate, no matter what it is.

Ficus rubiginosa is a widespread species and shows very wide variability - there are lots of different forms of PJ figs so many growers are confused about what they should really look like.

in actual fact I think the difference between your 2 figs is probably several years and some pruning rather than a different species. You really do need to cut figs to force them to grow side branches.

Welcome Harry
I have some PJ figs that all came from seed collected from one tree yet are a still not identical.
Figs are amazing plants IMO and you'll have fun learning with your ones
