Mareeba

May 9th

Now in the Atherton tablelands, we were close to Cairns. The area above Cairns is filled with tropical fruit farms, coffee & tea plantations, mango wineries and waterfalls.






We spent the morning visiting the surrounding forest areas – we saw the widest waterfalls in Australia – 66m wide! Wow!





Dabbed our toes in natural hot springs – over 100 degrees. Jamie nearly stepped onto a black or red belly black snake as he hopped out of the car! Mareeba hosts many coffee plantations so we spent the following morning tasting Australian coffee and then mango wine!
