Yungaburra & Atherton

We left Lake Tinaroo and headed into Yungaburra to go and see the Curtain Fig, which is apparently the most photographed fig tree. This was an impressive tree but we did not think it was as good as the Cathedral Fig. From here we headed into Atherton, where we visited the Crystal Caves. This was a great experience. You had to wear a safety helmet with a head light and you explored man made caves which had crystals (collected from all over the world) on display, some of the crystals were embedded into the walls to look like they were growing there. It was a great set up and we saw some incredible looking crystals.
