Atherton Blue Gum, Atherton Tablelands

Wake to a chorus of native bird life, ready for the wonders of the Atherton Tablelands and a new day. Enjoy breakfast while you view the mist-enshrouded mountains, with the morning sun softly caressing and highlighting their rugged outline. Atherton Blue Gum is situated high on Hallorans Hill, which is an extinct volcano with an environmental walk into its crater. The artistically interpreted “Lookout” at its peak, provides panoramic views. Join your Hosts on the top deck of Blue Gum, to view the vista of the Setting Sun. The Timber Deck is a part of a unique Australian design, based around six rows of “Turpentine Gum Tree poles”.
