Day 1 Yungaburra |
Yungaburra - Have a look at the famous Curtain Fig Tree before you arrive at your accommodation early afternoon. Unpack, then pop into Yungaburra Village for some supplies, and wander through the craft shops. About 5.30pm is a good time to make your way down to the Platypus Viewing Platform, to see if this elusive little animal is about, and do the Petersen Creek walk. How about a coldie at the pub before you decide which of the wonderful cafes and restaurants you will dine at tonight. |
Day 2 Lakes |
Lake Eacham - An early start is in order for a full day in the Lakes District. Visit Lake Eacham (10 mins by car), and walk off your breakfast with the 3km circuit track around the lake. You may see turtles, water dragons, muskyrat kangaroos, pademelons and many birds. Have a swim in the cool waters, or just sun yourself on the grassy bank. |
Day 3 Falls |
Malanda Falls - Another early start. Head to Malanda (15 mins by car), visit Malanda Falls and the Visitors Centre.
