On day two we explored the Atherton Tablelands west of Cairns. It was a pretty rural area (you get used to that in New Zealand and Australia) and the landscape was either rainforest or dairy farming. We explored a little of each. In the Wooroonooran National Park we found a bunch of beautiful waterfalls within the rainforest. Here are a few of the highlights
While in the Tablelands we also stopped at Mungalli Creek Dairy, which promotes their bio-dynamic farming principals. I had never heard of bio-dynamic farming, but turns out it’s a type of organic farming that focuses on a holistic approach (The farm acts as one unit and doesn’t take any outside inputs. So there is a focus on using manure rather than artificial fertilizers). Well past my gardening 101. Whatever they are doing it works. We sampled their greek yogurt and it was amazing. Unfortunately they only distribute in Australia.
Day three up next….Great Barrier Reef. Check back for that one.
