An interesting and indulgent day is to be had exploring this area. Start the morning with an unforgettable hot air balloon ride followed by a champagne breakfast at Mareeba.

Spend the rest of the morning visiting the spectacular Crater Lakes district, the beautiful Milla Milla, Ellinjaa and Zillie Waterfalls, before wandering through the art galleries at the heritage village of Yungaburra.

A wonderful authentic Australian country-style lunch is available at The Lake Eacham Hotel in Yungaburra.

The afternoon could be enjoyed by sampling some locally produced coffee at The Coffee Works in Mareeba, locally produced mango wines at The Golden Drop Mango Winery at Biboohra before checking out some amazing Australian woodcraft pieces at Tolga Woodworks and Café
