Last Tuesday we loaded up the van and drove up to the Atherton Tablelands. You have to go via the Gilles Highway and its very long and winding road.
We were staying at a Christian campsite called Quinola Lakes with my parents and then my brother and family who arrived the following day. The area is quite different to the Cairns area, its cooler and less humid so no mozzies and hardly any flies. The campsite was very pretty with lakes, green grass and a swimming hole. Our cabins were quaint and very nice too:
I have a lot more photos to share but will be doing one post for each day. Day one involved driving up to Malanda, visiting the curtain fig tree, Atherton and then the dairy and chocolate factory. We were worn out by then so went back to the cabins for dinner and to play cards that night. Pretty good start to the break!










Oh it looks amazing
Enjoy every moment.
