Waterfalls and Rain

Monday gone we went for our first drive into the Atherton Tablelands.

The weather was wet and cloudy. Typical of this area yet the locals feel it is unusually wet for this time of year.

We visited waterfall way and walked to the closest ones. Drove to Malanda where we visited their highly informative tourist info centre.
