Yep there's a lot to be said about Tablelands weather. Not so good in Atherton which is only 35kms down the road but 300mtrs higher..Out towards Dimbula is flatter country and a lot drier. Southwest of Atherton is Mt Garnet, it is also very small and has a racetrack (Horses). The track is about 8-10klms out of town and lots of flat area. Enjoys a lot of clear nights as well..Best bet is to go for a drive on a w/end to check it all out.I hope i've given you plenty of ideas. Also on the southern half of the Tablelands are a lot of waterfalls (Milla Milla through to and just beyond Ravenshoe). These are best seen at this time of year due to rainfall.
Cheers,
