Travel Tips from people who've been to Atherton
Atherton-Tablelands, green soft flowing hills and many waterfalls.

The Landscape feels very familiar to me, like the Jura in Switzerland.
But the climate is a lot warmer, so the forests around here are more like Rainforests.

To see:
- Barron Falls (big, expressive)
- Milaa Milla Falls (like on a tropical island)
- Dinner Falls (the typical Waterfall)
- more: Zillie Falls, Ellinja Falls ..
- Mt Hypipamee Crater: a hole in the stone with a lake on the ground - the way to it goes through a forest, beware of the leeches here!

The atherton tablelands is a gorgeous place. with heaps of waterfalls where you can swim and slide from rocks or even jump from the falls. there is a waterfall route you can follow, most comfortable is with own transport, there are also tours who organise daytrips through the tablelands.The towns in the tablelands give a relaxing countrystyle. where now and then some countryfestivals are held.

Experience the true outback getaway. After an hour drive toward the Highlands in the western direction of Cairns.  There are hills and mountains that offer the thrill of adventure and there are lakes, rivers and waterfalls that provide a calm and peaceful rest. Also, there are crater lakes of extinct volcanoes and a slew of national parks that are ideal for nature adventures.
