Ranging from World Heritage listed rainforests, national parks and mountains to beautiful rivers, lakes and waterfalls; Atherton Tableland is a tropical paradise of diversity.

The Tropical Tablelands is filled with lakes, waterfalls, rainforests, and fertile red soil that makes the stunning fauna possible. Atherton, the so called ‘capital’ of Tropical Tablelands, is a relaxing getaway from the heat and rush of city life.

The peanuts, maize, and potatoes harvested from the rich soil have made the Tablelands famous. However, the area is also captivating for Curtain Fig Tree, Millaa Millaa Falls, crater lakes and impressive natural rock formations.

If you are looking to explore the Tablelands, you should start from Atherton. Atherton hosts a variety of accommodation options, ranging from bed and breakfasts to traditional Queensland model hotels, or backpacker hostels and caravan parks to rainforest expeditions.

Atherton can be found 1,869 kilometres from Brisbane. You can find some Atherton Accommodation options here.
