Atherton is the "capital" of the lovely Tropical Tablelands, a land of beautiful lakes, waterfalls, rich red soil and tropical rainforests. Here the temperature is cooler, the pace is slower and there is a feeling of relaxation in the air.

A beautiful, scenic and unspoilt undulating tableland between 500 and 1000 metres above the "The Great Barrier Reef", perfect for self-driving tours.
Ancient rainforest, volcanic lakes , waterfall circuit (including Millaa Millaa Falls) , Mareeba Wetlands , National Parks, "World Heritage-listed - Wet Tropic " Rainforest areas, and an abundance and diversity of flora and fauna - (tree kangaroos, platypus, brolgas, rock wallabies, kangaroos, bandicoots, quolls, bird life. Guided night-spotting tours can be arranged.)

Adventure activities include: hot air ballooning, free flying, horse riding, barramundi fishing, bungy jumping, pioneer walking trails with donkeys, and go-kart racing.

The dream continues at Paronella Park - "...The surprise of your travels".
Be assured of a "catch" at the Tablelands best fishing park, "Tarzali Lakes" , or just feed and watch.
Visit working coffee & tea plantations, mango wineries, gourmet dairy food tasting and other agricultural pursuits. Self-drive the Tropical Food Trails.

The Mareeba Wetlands is a bird watcher's haven & conservation success story. Circumnavigate the lake with the Ranger's expert commentary and view the beautiful Gouldian Finches - brought back from extinction.
"Rainforestation Nature Park", Pamagirri Aboriginal Experience, koalas and amphibious Army Ducks, restaurants and gift shops.
Historical towns of Yungaburra, Atherton, Herberton & Irvinebank - the region's heart from 1880 - 1920.
Gemstone fossicking and gold panning, off the normal tourist track.

The Hou Wang Miau Chinese Temple, the last surviving structure of what was Cedar Camp, the Atherton Chinatown, established in the mid 1880s. Indulge yourself in sampling the exotic dairy products of the Mungalli Creek Bio-Dynamic Dairy.

Historic steam train journeys, up the steepest grades in Queensland.
Granite Gorge, feed the rock wallabies in their natural habitat and get a feel for the very Australian landscape. Aviation and Military Museums record the WWII history.

The "Tablelands" has a beautiful temperate climate, which makes it a January to December destination. Avoid the rush, and come in the "low season" (Dec-April), the climate is comfortable, free of coastal humidity but still accessible to those coastal areas. Alternatively, come in the "high season" (July-Nov), and feel the warmth of our "tropical" sun. A three minute drive brings you to Hastie Swamp, a two-level bird hide that views thousands of birds in their natural habitat, or visit Crystal Caves in the Main Street of Atherton. Mt Mulligan Escarpment is a must see. The region also hosts a number of antique and arts & craft shops, as well as art studios & galleries.
