The Crater Lakes

Lake Eacham

Toady we visited a couple of the crater lakes and the area and they are free unlike some places, the first is Lake Eacham.
​
​Like most things here no long walks to see the lake you drive in and park and its out in front of you, it is such a peaceful place with the water out in front of you all around you is the rainforest
​you would get lost so easy if you wandered into it.

​The water is so clear you can see the bottom of the lake and blue or green depending from what angle you look at it.
​You see the local fish swim about not worried about the people swimming in the water, and it is warm too so I guess the whizz bang vans would use this for their bath area as a few about.

No need to get your feet wet plenty of walk ways around the lakes

Lake Barrine

Lake Barrine is a volcanic maar, surrounded by rainforest. The deep waters of the lake and the pleasant coolness of the Atherton Tableland have combined to make Lake Barrine a popular stop for visitors to the area. The track around the lake allows for forest-fringed, secluded views of the lake and excellent opportunities for viewing wildlife.A pair of towering bull kauri pine trees, over 45m tall, is a feature of the park.

​Walk from the lower car park to the boardwalk at the base of two exceptionally large bull kauri pines. These ancient giants are believed to be more than 1000 years old. Towering over the canopy, they are 50m tall and have a trunk diameter of 2.7m. Kauris, common in some rainforest types, are descendants of species that dominated tableland forests for thousands of years. Kauris today are almost identical to fossil kauris found in rocks 300 million years old.
