The Atherton Tablelands

Travel up a pass over the Gillies Range and you've arrived at the World Heritage area of the Atherton Tablelands. We joined a day tour from Cairns and in spite of a pair of idiotic french girls on the bus we had a fabulous time. An area of ancient rain forest, beautiful waterfalls and massive craters. The highlights for us were the Millaa Millaa Falls (where the Timotei advert was filmed) and a tree known as the Cathedral Fig. The last 2 pictures show the top and bottom of the fig.
