Let's have a look around Atherton QLD Australia
Atherton is the largest service centre at the heart of the Atherton Tablelands in Far North Queensland, Australia. The town was first settled by Europeans in the early 1880s as a camp for cedar-cutters. It was first called Prior’s Pocket. Later, in 1885, it was surveyed and renamed Atherton after John Atherton who drove cattle into the area. Town lots were sold in 1886. Atherton became a stopover point from the coast to the Herberton tin fields.
In 1903 the Post Office replaced the receiving office which was established in 1889.
In the 1880s substantial Chinese population lived around the town working the rich soils of the area producing vegetables for the miners.
Over the years Atherton has been the centre for a number of industries on the Tablelands. The rich, red volcanic soils of the area (estimated to be over 30-m deep) have been used to produce maize, potatoes, peanuts, macadamia nuts and avocados. The town has also been important to the local dairy industry with a butter factory opening in 1909 and a large dairy co-operative
The Atherton Magistrate’s Courthouse was constructed in 1941 and was used as a wartime hospital for officers during World War II and has air raid bunkers beneath the building

Ravenshoe - Atherton Tablelands
Ravenshoe
Queensland’s highest town, Ravenshoe is 920 metres above sea level and is home to Windy Hill wind farm which generates enough electricity to supply approximately 3,500 homes. Created on the extinct Windy Hill volcano in 2000 and its 20 wind turbines take advantage of the consistent winds on the volcano’s slopes.
The Ravenshoe Visitor Centre at 24 Moore Street provides first class tourist information and has excellent displays on the rainforest, timber-milling, dairy farming and WWII military presence in the area, plus a section on bats and a noctarium which simulates night spotting of local native animals. The Centre is also the home of the Nganyaji Interpretive Centre which showcases the culture and lifestyle of the region’s Jirrbal people whose language is the world’s oldest spoken language. On Sundays the historic steam train “Capella” runs to Tumoulin, Queensland’s highest railway station.
Ravenshoe is the highest point in the Misty Mountains walking tracks network, and is a great location for wildlife watching, particularly for platypus, 12 species of possums and 340 bird species and of course, Lumholtz’s Tree- Kangaroo, one of 14 species of kangaroo to be found in the area.

Run away: Mareeba - run uncovers the secrets of a rail trail
As runners we couldn't help but see the straight, flat, forgiving surface of an abandoned Mareeba railway line and think TRAIL RUN - even though development of the trail as a tourist facility at the Mareeba end is still underway.
So we headed out, in early summer, expecting a hot and mentally challenging 12k run - but wow... weren't we pleasantly surprised?!
Spectacular in the sunrise, the trail revealed many of it's secrets and taught us that adventure is not always where you expect it.
