Back to Cairns via the Tablelands

Originally we'd planned to head back to Cairns the way we'd come, at dinner at the hotel in Cairns however the waiter recommended coming back via the Tablelands for some stunning scenery and access to some beautiful waterfalls...he was right!

After spending one night in Atherton (a rather unremarkable town) we headed off onto the waterfall route, a short circuit around 10-15km long which has three waterfalls along it. Both Kate and I commented that we'd never actually seen a waterfall "in the flesh" and so were looking forward to it. On the drive in to the circuit i commented that the falls couldn't be that impressive as the land was pretty flat around us - d'oh!
