The Atherton Tablelands Visitor Information Centre is located in the heart of the region and has information about all the Tablelands and the adjoining areas. You can book tours and accommodation right across Queensland, and also make your National Parks campsite bookings at this centre.

Herberton is the oldest town on the Tablelands with a rich mining history. The museum has extensive mining and geology displays, and families can try their hand at tin panning and hand drilling. There are extensive walks in the hills around Herberton with a fascinating dry woodland flora, and the centre has maps and information to help you make the most of your stay. Herberton enjoys a sunny dry climate, and Jacaranda time each October turns the village into a blaze of purple.

The Malanda Falls Visitor Centre is located right next to the Malanda Falls Conservation Park, with abundant rainforest wildlife and walking trails, and a swimming pool at the foot of the falls. This is one of the best places in the world to spot the unique Lumholtz’s Tree-kangaroo. Take a rainforest walk, in the footsteps of the local Ngadjon people, and spend some time in the centre to discover more about the geology, cultural history and wildlife of the Tablelands.

Ravenshoe is the highest town in Queensland and is well known as the home of Australia’s widest single drop waterfall, Millstream Falls. The Visitor Centre has displays about the history and wildlife of the Wet Tropics world heritage area, and the adjoining Nganyaji Interpretive Centre uncovers the rich culture of the Jirrbal rainforest people. The newest addition is the Ravenshoe Heritage Gallery, which illustrates the area’s history in photographs. It is the only visitor centre to be open 365 days of the year!

Yungaburra has more heritage listed buildings than anywhere outside of regional centres in Queensland and enjoys a reputation as an accommodation hub within the Tablelands region. It is renowned for its monthly markets, the annual Folk Festival, a gateway to Lake Tinaroo, and more recently the opening of the Avenue of Honour, a moving tribute to the fallen Australian soldiers of the Afghanistan campaign. It hosts the Yungaburra Triathlon in April each year in support of returned servicemen and women. The Petersen Creek walk offers great platypus viewing opportunities. The visitor information centre is located in the centre of the village and several local artists have arts and crafts for sale here.
