Atherton Tablelands, Cairns Highlands, Far North Queensland, Australia
The Atherton Tableland is a fertile plateau which is part of the Great Dividing Range in Queensland, Australia. It is located west to south-south-west inland from Cairns. Although it is in the tropical latitudes, its elevated position provides a climate suitable for dairy farming. It has an area of around 32, 000 km2 with an altitude ranging between 500 and 1, 280 m (1, 640 and 4, 200 ft). The fertility of the soils in the region can be attributed to the volcanic origins of the land.
The principal river flowing across the plateau is the Barron River. It was dammed to form an irrigation reservoir named Lake Tinaroo. Tinaroo Hydro, a small 1.6MW Hydroelectric power station is located near the spillway

This stunning print captures the breathtaking beauty of the Atherton Tablelands in Far North Queensland, Australia. Nestled within the Great Dividing Range, this fertile plateau is a hidden gem just west of Cairns. Despite its tropical location, the elevated position of the tableland creates a climate perfect for dairy farming. Spanning over 32,000 square kilometers and ranging in altitude from 500 to 1,280 meters, this expansive region boasts rich volcanic soils that contribute to its agricultural success. The Barron River gracefully meanders through the plateau and has been transformed into Lake Tinaroo, an irrigation reservoir vital for sustaining local farms. Artie Photography's lens perfectly captures the tranquility and natural splendor of this landscape. Lush foliage surrounds wooden fences as tropical trees sway gently in the breeze. The vibrant colors and diverse plant life create a picturesque scene that showcases both nature's bounty and man's harmonious coexistence with it. From rolling fields to towering volcanoes dotting the horizon, every element in this photograph tells a story of resilience and beauty found high up on this ancient land. It serves as a reminder that even in remote corners of our world, there are hidden treasures waiting to be discovered. This print by Artie Ng truly encapsulates all that makes Atherton Tablelands so special - its unique geography, thriving agriculture, and untouched natural wonders. It is an invitation to explore Far North Queensland's enchanting landscapes firsthand or simply admire their majesty from afar.
