A day catching up on some school work and Fraser had a haircut in town. Dad went for a hike up the Widow Maker which provided good views over the Atherton Tablelands - a patchwork of rainforest and mixed farming. For the boys Atherton has been a birdwatching hotspot with the tally now at 276.

Off and up we go to the Atherton Tablelands where the roads are winding and the hills (many extinct volcanoes) are green, After setting up camp we headed off to visit Lake Eacham and saw some great little turtles, onto the curtin fig tree and then Lake Barrine. It is great to see some lakes and green grass again.
