NOTEWORTHY PLACES
There’s a handful of other places we
managed to visit that are worth a mention
here, too – most of which are still within an
hour radius of Mareeba:
Cairns Lagoon: A free swimming area
provided along the Cairns Esplanade that is
croc and stinger-free.
Platypus Viewing Platform in East Barron:
Located along Peterson Creek, if you follow
the track under the road you may be lucky
enough to spot a platypus or two frolicking in
the water.

Lake Tinaroo: A beautiful lake, perfect for a
picnic, barbecue and a swim – or even fishing
(with the required permit). The lake is a
popular place for watersports and camping.
Curtain Fig Tree: Deriving its name from the
unique way its roots fall to the ground in a
curtain formation, the centuries old fig is an
example of the power and beauty of mother
nature.
Happy exploring!
