Atherton Tablelands

From Atherton Tablelands, Cairns is about 40 miles (64 kilometers) to the northeast, while Port Douglas is 60 miles (97 kilometers) to the north.

Of course, limiting yourself to only one place, regardless of its popularity, will only ever furnish you with a glimpse into the broader cultural and natural fabric of a region. So allow time to delve into Tropical North Queensland's other cultural and natural attractions. You may also wish to check out Dimbulah, 25 miles (40 kilometers) to the southeast, and Mareeba 25 miles (40 kilometers) to the south.

Grab some transportation and head out to Cairns, a transport and retail hub for the area, located 40 miles (64 kilometers) away from Atherton Tablelands. This regional center has a wide range of visitor attractions, such as Mount Whitfield Conservation Park, Cairns Convention Centre and Clifton Beach. Cairns Rainforest Dome, Reef Hotel Casino and Skyrail Rainforest Cableway are just a sample of the other visitor attractions on offer here.

If you're keen on soaking up some of the local culture, visit Tropical North Queensland's craft workshops and art galleries.

Don't leave the area without getting a bird's-eye view. There are a number of great options for paragliding. Why not relax and enjoy during gentle pastimes such as camping or shore fishing. Both are popular with both travelers and locals alike.

Don't forget, traveling is the only thing you can buy that can make you wealthier. Your time in Atherton Tablelands will leave you with memories you'll cherish for years to come.
