The Atherton Tableland is situated between the Bellenden Ker Range and the Great Dividing Range .

World Heritage Rainforest

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.

Mild Temperature

The Atherton Tableland is green throughout most of the year, with a temperature which rarely exceeds 30 degrees C. This tropical plateau is 600-1100 metres above sea level where temperatures and humidity are lower than on the coastal plain.

Atherton Tableland Attractions

The Tablelands present opportunities for bush walking, bird watching, a wildlife cruise, marsupial spotting, hot air ballooning and water sports as diverse as fishing and white water rafting.

Winding roads lead to spectacular lookouts and waterfalls, extinct volcano crater lakes, Lake Barrine and Lake Eacham , the ancient Bromfield Swamp near Malanda and the Hypipamee National Park and crater near Herberton.

Rare and Endangered Wildlife

Wildlife is abundant on the Tablelands. There are possibilities of seeing shy tree kangaroos and perhaps even a reclusive platypus.

Accommodation & Dining

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.
