Tablelands trekking

On Sunday we went for a trek up to the Atheron Tablelands. The Gillies Highway climbs steeply from Gordonvale up to Yungaburra.

Before Yungaburra we visited the Cathedral Fig and the magnificent Lake Barrine, one of a pair of crater lakes nestled on the tablelands, the other being Lake Eachem.

We had lunch at Gallo Dairyland, a cheese and chocolate factory where we enjoyed a huge cheese platter and some of the nicest chocolates I have ever tasted. Jaffa, mango and passionfruit chocolates… Then we visited the curtain fig and stopped in at coffee world in Atherton to finish off. Coffee world was very interesting with an incredible range of unusual quality gifts available.
