A good hour’s drive from Mission Beach will bring you to your first stop of the day, the beautiful Millaa Millaa Falls. There are 3 different waterfalls: Millaa Milla, Zillie and Ellinjaa Falls which are located only minutes away from each other & easily accessible by car. Make sure you bring your camera…
Mungalli Creek Dairy

Curtain Fig Tree
A beautiful scenic drive (30-40 mins) gets you to your next amazing stop. The Curtain Fig Tree …. a very large fig which cannot be described in words. Don’t miss it.
Lake Barrine
A beautiful lunch spot overlooking the peaceful volcanic Crater Lake…. Take a river cruise, or enjoy a beautiful walk around the lake. There is plenty of wildlife in and around the lake for you to discover.
Nerada Tea Plantation
On your way out from the tablelands, enjoy a last break at the Nerada Tea Plantation. Discover how flavoursome Tea is grown and processed and enjoy a cup of Australia’s Own Tea.
Paronella Park
Depending on the time and your energy levels after this surprise packed day you might like to end it with another extraordinary experience.
