Some of the best days on the Atherton Tablelands begin with choosing a road and seeing where it leads.
Drive from rainforest and volcanic crater lakes into rolling farmland and open savannah, following roads that connect waterfalls, country towns, national parks, local food and places with stories to tell. Distances are manageable, but there is plenty to stop for along the way.
Plan a route around what interests you, or simply leave room for the unexpected. A roadside stall, walking track, country pub or turn-off you had not planned can easily become part of the day.
