Just inland from Cairns in Tropical North Queensland, the southern Atherton Tablelands opens out into
a landscape shaped by water, rich soils and time.
Waterfalls cut through rainforest, crater lakes sit still and deep and country roads wind between farms, forest and small towns.
The Atherton Tablelands is made for exploring at your own pace. Distances are short, the roads are easy to follow, and no town is more than around 30 minutes from the next.
From lakes and waterfalls to country pubs and farm gates, each stop offers something different, making it easy to shape your own journey across the region.
Discover Your Trail….
The Discover Themed Trails guide brings together seven curated trails across the Atherton Tablelands, each designed around a different way to experience the region.
From waterfall circuits and wildlife encounters to food trails, heritage towns and outback country, the trails group places, stories and experiences that naturally sit together. Follow a trail from start to finish or move between them, depending on what draws you in.
