Come with us for the fun filled day where you will see the best of the Tablelands and gain the best value out of this packed itinerary!

Your day commences as you journey south of Cairns to Babinda Boulders. Babinda Boulders is a popular swimming hole and picnic area for locals and tourists, and a place of spiritual significance for Aboriginal people. Your guide will explain the Aboriginal significance of this area before a short 1.3km return walk to the Devil's Pool which leads through the rainforest to two viewing platforms. From the platform view the creek as it cascades down a series of spectacular waterfalls, granite boulders and washpools.

From here journey further south to Josephine Falls - a picturesque waterfall fed by rains falling on Queensland’s highest mountain, Bartle Frere, which looms above this popular picnic area. A track will lead you through lush tropical rainforest, to viewing decks overlooking the Josephine Creek and Falls, where there are excellent photographic opportunities. Below the falls are several swimming holes surrounded by boulders and a popular water slide down a smooth sloping rock face between pools. Remember to bring your swimmers for a very refreshing swim!

Starting at Innisfail, the Palmerston Highway stretches through Wet Tropics rainforests of Johnstone River Valley to Millaa Millaa and the spectacular Millaa Millaa falls. Although this is the longest route from Cairns to the Atherton Tablelands, many people believe it is the most scenic drive. The Atherton Tablelands is home to World Heritage listed rainforests, national parks, mountains, rivers, lakes and waterfalls. It is also rated as one of the richest agricultural plains in Australia.This is Australian countryside at its very best, and a visit to Gallo Dairyland is not to be missed!

With European cheese makers developing new and unusual cheeses, alongside the old favourites, your visit to Gallo Dairyland will be fascinating and very tasty. Then of course there is the chocolate, which really needs little introduction...

After indulging on cheese and chocolate and lunch at Malanda Pub (own expense) its time for more beautiful waterfalls. Millaa Millaa Falls is a magnificent waterfalls surrounded by lush rainforest. The falls cascade perfectly to a pristine waterhole below where you can enjoy a refreshing swim in the cool water. It is one of the most photographed in all of Australia, so make sure you bring your camera!

Following this will be a visit to Lake Eacham which is an extinct volcanic crater lake filled with cool, clean, crystal clear water, surrounded by 1200acres of lush tropical highland rainforest. The peacefulness and tranquillity of Lake Eacham is an anazing wonder. Saw-shelled turtles are commonly seen in Lake Eacham, paddling over to visitors when they appear.

Bring swimming costumes, towel, walking shoes, change of clothes and a smile - experience a day you'll remember for years. Stop along the way so you can buy lunch or bring your own packed lunch. This way we can keep the prices down. Depart Cairns by 7:45am and return by 8:00pm.

Expect a full fun day!
