Atherton Tablelands Travel Guide

Atherton Tablelands accommodation, Atherton Tablelands activities and attractions, Atherton Tablelands maps, transportation to and around Atherton Tablelands - the ALL NEW Jasons Atherton Tablelands Destination Travel Guide is your complete visitor guide for Atherton Tablelands.

Amazing Atherton Tablelands The Atherton Tablelands is tropical North Queensland’s own mountain getaway, with a mild climate free from coastal humidity and temperatures that rarely exceed 30°C. Nestled between the Bellenden Ker and Great Dividing Ranges, 900m above sea level, this region has World Heritage rainforests, wildlife, mountain ranges, cascading waterfalls, jungle-fringed volcanic crater lakes and spectacular natural scenery all within a day’s touring. The Tablelands’ rich fertile farmlands have put it on Australia’s gourmet map with the abundance of specialty food products now being produced and sold locally. Throughout the Atherton Tablelands is a network of towns and villages, each with its own natural attractions and historic interest. These towns grew out of the camps of last century’s pioneers who worked as timberjacks and goldminers, and the romance of this era lingers in the relics and museums. The area’s Aboriginal heritage can be found in the ancient rock art galleries. For the adventurer, a magnificent signed highway, the Savannah Way, takes travellers from Cairns through Mareeba, Atherton and Ravenshoe to the Gulf Savannah and on across the Northern Territory to Broome in Western Australia.
