Atherton Tablelands
by Bruce on Feb.18, 2009, under Queensland
There are plenty of interesting places to stay in this part of Australia! A little while ago I spent some time near Lake Eacham at Chambers Wildlife Rainforest Lodge. The Lodge consists of a number of small, separate bunkhouses in the rainforest and a larger reception and kitchen/eating area nearby. There are quite a few good subjects for wildlife photography in the immediate vicinity including Chameleon Geckoes along the rainforest walking tracks at night and Sugar Gliders and Striped Possums come to a feeding area that has been specially set up for the purpose. While I was there a Japanese film crew were busy setting up hides and filming some denizen of the local forest - I never managed to find out exactly what it was!
It is also a good place to base activities if you want to explore the local area and maybe see the flying foxes at the Tolga scrub (described in another posting). Chambers Lodge has a website where you can check out the accommodation. It is located about here!!!
