Highlights

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.

These wonderful creatures can be found in a spring fed pond surrounded by lush tropical vegetation.In order to create a natural environment for the development of the platypus, plants are naturally grown in accordance with the habitat of the platypus.
