What To Expect

Day 1

Atherton Tablelands Waterfall Day Tour-Cairns

5 Stops

Curtain Fig Tree

The Curtain Fig Tree in Cairns, Australia, is estimated to be between 500 to 800 years old and thrives in the endangered Mabi Rainforest. The term “Mabi” hails from the local indigenous Ngadjon-Jii tribe and refers to the rare Lumholtz’s tree kangaroo. This tree stands as one of the largest in Tropical North Queensland and is a well-known gem of the Atherton Tablelands.The roots of Yungaburra’s Curtain Fig Tree have descended over 15 meters to form a captivating “curtain” of roots, while the host tree has been suffocated and drained of nutrients by the strangler fig. Upon closer inspection, you can discern that it was originally four host trees; one of which likely fell due to rot, contributing to the distinctive curtain seen on the fig tree walk.The Cathedral Fig Tree is conveniently located just off the Gillies Highway, a short drive from Lake Barrine. Standing tall at an impressive 50 meters, with a canopy spanning the size of two Olympic swimming pools.

Lake Eacham Crater Lakes National Park

This pristine gem is known for its crystalline blue waters, embraced by lush, dense rainforests and inhabited by a variety of small creatures. It’s a National Park that’s perfect for birdwatching, bushwalking, swimming, and even canoeing.Approximately 10,000 years ago, molten magma from the Earth’s mantle began its journey toward the Earth’s crust, heating the water that lay trapped underground. This process resulted in the release of steam in the Tablelands area, eventually leading to cracks in the ground. When the pressure reached its zenith, it caused massive explosions, giving rise to what we now know as Lake Eacham and Lake Barrine.Lake Eacham is a self-contained catchment, a volcanic crater brimming with water, with no direct outlets to nearby rivers, creeks, or streams. The water levels here ebb and flow by approximately four meters between seasons due to evaporation and seepage.These Atherton Tablelands Lakes are an integral part of the World Heritage Wet Tropics Rainfore

Atherton Tablelands

The World Heritage Wet Tropics Rainforest in the Atherton Tablelands offers a captivating immersion into one of the world’s most extraordinary natural habitats. However, it’s important to note that wildlife encounters, such as the elusive Southern Cassowaries, are a matter of chance. While we can’t promise guaranteed sightings of these remarkable creatures or the mythical Dropbears, exploring the pristine rainforest gives you the opportunity to witness the magic of their untamed world.According to local legends, Dropbears are known for their mischievous antics, famously dropping from the trees to startle unsuspecting passersby. While these legends are all in good fun and are not grounded in reality, they reflect the joyful spirit of the Wet Tropics Rainforest and the rich cultural heritage of the region.The Wet Tropics Rainforest is a haven for endemic species, including the Lumholtz’s tree kangaroo, the green ringtail possum, and the stunning Ulysses butterfly.

1 hour Admission Ticket Included

Josephine Falls

Emerging as a gentle trickle from the Bartle Frere summit, the waters meander their way down, cascading over granite boulders. These tumbling waters form the picturesque Josephine Falls, a beloved site in Cairns, Australia.In days of old, the traditional indigenous custodians, the Noongyanbudda Ngadjon-jii, resided in these lands surrounding Mount Bartle Frere. Their nomadic lifestyle mirrored the rhythm of the seasons, with women gathering and men hunting. Their ethos of taking only what was needed sustained the delicate balance of life.Some parts of Josephine Falls hold sacred significance for the indigenous people and remain off-limits to the public.Nestled in the World Heritage Wet Tropics Rainforest, Josephine Falls boasts breathtaking views, an abundance of plant species, diverse wildlife, and crystalline waters. It has earned accolades as one of the most enchanting waterfalls in Tropical North Queensland.
