The Tablelands behind Cairns are really some of the most beautiful areas that can be found. The many waterfalls, streams and rain forests are a sight to be hold. The country has green pastures with cows grazing that give way to lush tropical rain forests.

Mallanda falls. Note the 1967 flood level on the shelter.	That's the main road in the background.	From the falls the water continues it's journey.	These falls flow into a swimming pool with picnic area.
Christie Palmerston	Tourist signs	Zillie Falls. Just a short walk down from the car park.	Again, water just flowing quietly away.
Milla Milla falls from above.	Looking down.	Ellinjaa Falls. You walk down many steps to get to these ones.	You can hear the water long before you can see it through the rain forest.
the water was freezing to me but that doesn't stop tourists swimming there.	Lake Eacham. The water here is bright blue and this lake sits a top a volcano.	The lake is huge with ample picnic areas.	You can see lizards on the waters edge and also turtles in the water.
Saw Shelled Turtle.	Lake Barrine	Rain forest giants. Connifer Pines.	These pines tower over the rain forest. Looking up the tree.
You can take a cruise on the lake if you have enough time. I didn't.
