a dairy in California supplying milk all the way up to a town in New York state! Just north of the town

are the Malanda Falls which drop into a pleasant swimming hole.There are also great rainforest in this

area containing primitive ferns, giant trees and clear mountain streams. Giant strangler fig trees are

present here too, one of the best trees to see, the Curtain Fig Tree can be seen here just above

Eacham where you can relax, swim, picnic, canoe or explore the surrounding walking tracks.
