Community Groups & Sporting Clubs

Yungaburra Bowls Club is a friendly, inclusive lawn bowls facility in the heart of this picturesque town. We have a modern Green, club bowls to borrow and wheelchair access to toilets and clubhouse. Our bar is well-stocked, and you will find a club full of enthusiastic, supportive members. All games offer afternoon tea, and we participate in most bowls competitions around our local Far North Queensland area. We also have club competitions yearly, including Singles, Pairs, Triples and Fours for both Men and Women. Our social games are enjoyable and designed to be fun rather than too competitive.

Atherton Cricket Club caters for all ages and abilities, from 5-year-olds trying our sport out for the first time to veterans keen to get back into it. Girls, boys, blokes and ladies are all welcome!

A folk festival gives participants and attendees an opportunity to express their differences and celebrate their unity with the Tablelands Folk Festival’s promise of magic-through-music being delivered year after year. This festival is now a part of the DNA of this wonderful township of Yungaburra (Janggaburru) and reinforces its rich cultural traditions as well as new and innovative music and art. Volunteers are integral to the success of the event!
