Lamb's Head and Kahlpahlim Rock

This a a fantastic and varied hike to the summit of Lamb's Head. Walk would range between 4-6hrs depending on fitness levels and stoppages. I recommend taking a few litres of water and some snacks. It is best during the dry winter season. The views at the top are absolutely amazing and there are several viewing points if you follow the 'sometimes hard' to see small pink ribbons. One view faces north/north-east over Cairns and the other is west/north-west. It truely is the one of the best hikes in the region. Afterwards you can find many beautiful rock pools at Davies Creek to swim in.

Millaa Millaa Falls

Millaa Millaa Falls is the most beautiful and iconic waterfall of the waterfall-laden Atherton Tablelands region. What the falls has going for it, is a lush rainforest setting fringed with broad ferns, colourful flowers and a plunge pool suitable for swimming. Even though the size of the falls is modest, at 18.3m, it possessed a photo-friendly classical rectangular shape, which complements the idyllic scenery well.

Nice 3hr walk with two summits and views back over Atherton and the tablelands.
If you're looking for something longer then the 3km circuits but shorter then the multi-day hikes!
Very well maintained track, well signed with options of doing this full circuit or just one summit.
Range of plant life from bush to tropics, we saw hundreds of birds including lots of cockatoos.
Walk is dog friendly.
