The Tablelands have heaps on offer! If you have a car, drive up the Gillies Range next to Gordonvale and enjoy the picturesque drive up to the Tablelands. Discover waterfalls, such as Milla Milla, magical Fig trees, lakes and farms. Platypus, Tree Kangaroos, and Cassowaries can be spotted with a bit of luck 😊
