Overview
This small national park can be located on the southern Atherton Tablelands, south-west of Cairns. It consists of two separate sections: Lake Barrine and Lake Eacham. Both are popular with tourists who come to view the beautiful lakes and to walk in the forest. The area is also popular with birders looking for Wet Tropics endemics and many other rainforest species.
