• LAKE BARRINE & HERITAGE TEA HOUSE
  A mere 1 hour drive from Cairns via the scenic Gillies Highway brings you to the cool atmosphere of the Atherton Tablelands, where you will come across a beautiful, enchanting natural lake hidden in World Heritage Rainforest. Lake Barrine is something special as it is actually a water filled crater left by a volcanic eruption approximately 10,000 years ago. Here we sample warm local banana crepes with tropical fruits, Mungali yoghurt, honey and lime and enjoy a special 'Lake Barrine' coffee or local tea at the charming 80 year old lakeside teahouse amongst beautiful terraced gardens.

• NERADA TEA PLANTATION
  The plantation is situated on the scenic outskirts of Malanda. Here you will be tasting several of the Plantation grown, single origin teas, such as Plantation Fresh Black, Lemon Myrtle and Royal Devonshire, black tea with a hint of natural vanilla. The teas will be paired with a selection of local Gallo cheeses.

• AUSTRALIAN PLATYPUS PARK
