This tour is designed for couples or small families seeking more than just sightseeing. This exclusive experience is about connection to Country and meaningful conversation.
We begin at the Cathedral Fig, a 500-year-old strangler fig of cultural significance to the Yidinji people. Enjoy a cultural presentation featuring traditional tools and weapons, followed by a short rainforest walk to view the fig tree itself. Hear stories of early settlement and its impact on rainforest, wildlife, and culture.
Next, we visit Lake Barrine for coffee and a short walk to two ancient Kauri Pines, believed to be over 1,000 years old. Learn about the region’s timber history and how it reshaped the landscape. Following lunch at a local café, we travel to Mbabaram Country, stopping at Hastie’s Swamp along the way for some bird watching and storytelling.
Our final stop is Watsonville. We enjoy a short bush walk, spear throwing, and taste a traditional meal before returning you to your accommodation.

Cathedral Fig Tree
Our first stop of the tour is the Cathedral Fig Tree in Danbulla National Park. Here we introduce you to Bundaburra-Yidinji Country and explain the rainforest culture of the Yidinji people. We will conduct a short 200m return walk to view the magnificent Cathedral Fig, and learn her stories.
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.

5.00Allen 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.
