Lake Barrine

Lake Barrine is the second stop of our tour. Here we will explain the variety of fish in the lake and how the lake was created in Yidinji belief. We also explain the traditional diets of Yidinji people and how recent settlement of the area has caused Yidinji people to become more reliant on western foods. We will then take a short 100m return walk to view the ancient giant Kauri Pines and learn about the history of timber harvesting in the region and it's impact on the rainforest.

Allen made us feel like we were invited to be a part of the family and drew us into the aboriginal experience. His was knowledgeable and respectful as he taught us about the experiences of aborigines present and past. It all culminated with a picnic lunch under the trees on aboriginal land
Best way to experience the Atherton Tablelands.
