It was a wet day on the Atherton Tablelands, but boy is it nice up there. It's farmarama dairy country in vivid green, with lakes and waterfalls everywhere. We visited the 'Cathedral Fig' (not to be confused with the Curtain Fig at Yungaburra), which was awesome in scale - very Avatar! Also huge were the 'Bull Kauri' trees at Lake Barrine - with a 6m circumference. There was a lot of mist as its quite high. Milla Milla Falls remains very picturesque, as did two more on the 'Waterfall Circuit'. Malanda Falls was a bit pathetic in comparison (no photo). Very rainy day but suited the task. We did the 5km walk around Lake Barrine and dropped in to various other crater lakes. Headed down the Palmerton Highway (via another waterfall) to Innisfail for the night. Given the Italian cane farming heritage we opted for pizza for tea (fantastic!).
