Atherton Tablelands

We arrived in Herberton and decided not to stay at Wild River caravan park and continued onto Atherton and stayed at the Big 4 Caravan park which was much nicer.
A drive out to Lake Tinaroo and we decided to stay there in the National Park for a few nights later in the week. Dick managed to get a huge bag of wood for us to use in the campfires at night.
At Herberton there is a Village made up of old buildings from the area- we spent quite a few hours looking through them,  from there we went to the Gallo Cheese and Chocolate shop where we sampled the goods and watched the cows "riding the merry go around" - like we saw at Menangle when we were younger.  The cows were coaxed into the pens, had the milking machines attached, and they went around until all their milk was transferred into the vats.

We also took a trip to Lake Barrine - but didn't go on the cruise, as we had done that before on another visit.
