The Atherton Tablelands.

We headed south again and our first stop was in Mareeba. There wasn’t a great deal there but the view from our campsite was over the river. We then headed off to Atherton via the Mont Uncle Distillery and on to Granite gorge where there are huge granite boulders that you make climb over and swimming holes which are croc free. We also fed the rock wallabies which were so cute. The next morning it was cold and raining so we headed off to Yungaurra and the curtain fig tree, Lake Eacham, the giant red cedar which managed to avoid being chopped down for timber but got flattened by cyclone Larry. Then it was on to Lake Barrine where we got soaked and to the cathedral fig tree. As we were already drenched we decided to visit the Falls and then on to Ravenshoe to Tully Gorge and falls. Unfortunately the cloud was so low the views weren’t all they could be. It was then on to the Millstream Falls which are supposed to be the widest in Australia which doesn’t say a lot for any of the other falls as they weren’t all that wide at all. We then headed off to Innisfail through the mountains yet again in the pouring rain.
