Yungaburra is a small historic village on the Atherton Tablelands, only one hour's drive west of Cairns. It is close to the beautiful rainforests and twin volcanic lakes, Lake Eacham and Barrine, and Lake Tinaroo (boating, skiing and fishing.) Yungaburra itself has a friendly atmosphere and many interesting old homes, shops and a beautiful old pub. The local markets are famous throughout north QLD. The tennis court is a short walk from home. The temperature is 5 degrees cooler here than the coast. The beaches of Cairns lead up to The Daintree/Cape Tribulation and the many islands and Great Barrier Reef.
