| On the drive up the Atherton Tablelands |
After leaving Cairns we headed up to Lake Tinaroo on the Atherton Tablelands. It was a very picturesque drive and Lake Tinaroo was a beautiful place to camp as we were surrounded by water.

On the way to Lake Tinaroo we went a saw the Cathedral Fig – WOW – talk about impressive!! This fig is estimated to be 500 years old, stands about 5 stories high, the base is over 44m in diameter (they say that if 24 people held hands around the tree they wouldn’t quite meet up) and the canopy area of the tree is over 2000 square meters, which is the size of two Olympic pools. As we said it is one impressive tree!
