World Heritage Rainforest
The Atherton Tableland in the Cairns Highlands is
a blend of the best attractions of the tropics; a
combinationofnatureandlifestyleatitsfinest.
Among the World Heritage listed rainforests,
national parks, mountains, rivers, lakes and
waterfalls are some of Australia’s richest agricultural
lands and charming small townships
Biologists have described the spectacular
rainforests of the Wet Tropics as the “greatest
celebration of life on earth” The farm and grazing
lands are “the food bowl” of the northern tropics -
yielding a constant supply of fruit, vegetables and
grains to local and export markets
Mild Temperature
TherurallandscapeoftheAthertonTableland/
Cairns Highlands is green throughout most of the
year, with a temperature which rarely exceeds 30
degrees C Everything, including the people, thrives
on this cool tropical plateau some 600-1100 metres
above sea level where temperatures and humidity
are lower than on the coastal plain
Atherton Tableland/Cairns Highlands Attractions
Here settlers from all over the world share their arts,
crafts, music and festivals For visitors, the Tablelands
present opportunities for bush walking, bird
watching, a wildlife cruise, marsupial spotting, hot
airballooningandwatersportsasdiverseasfishing
and white water rafting
Winding roads lead to spectacular lookouts and
waterfalls, and highlights include Australia’s widest
waterfall - Millstream Falls - and many others
flowingallyearround,thedeepbluewatersof
extinct volcano crater lakes, Lake Barrine and
LakeEacham,theancientBromfieldSwampnear
Malanda and the Hypipamee National Park and
crater near Herberton
Rare and endangered Atherton Tableland/
Cairns Highlands Wildlife
Wildlife is abundant on the Tablelands, as a night
time spotlighting tour will show There are possibilities
of seeing shy tree kangaroos and perhaps even a
reclusive platypus from the vantage point of a cool
riverbank
Accommodation & Dining on the
Atherton Tableland/Cairns Highlands
Classic old hotels, motels, guest houses,
backpackers, farm stays, boutique style cottages
and caravan and camping parks provide the ideal
base for exploring There are excellent restaurants
and cafes to enjoy, weekend markets, and many
World War 2 troop staging sites
ThespecialattractionsoftheAthertonTableland/
Cairns Highlands’ postcard-like towns and villages
will captivate any visitor
A scenic one hour drive in the Highlands west from Cairns istheAthertonTableland/CairnsHighlands-TropicalNorthQueensland’s own mountain getaway Situated between theBellendenKerRangeandtheGreatDividingRange, it is regarded as one of the region’s best kept secrets
