Hi All. For anyone visiting the Atherton Tablelands/Cairns area this weekend we will be at Wondeccla sportsgrounds, just two or three ks out of Herberton. We are camping overnight (free) and Sunday morning is the monthly Wondeccla Markets at the sportsgrounds. Quaint little country market with the usual suspects; fruit and vegies, arts and crafts, coffee, food etc. I will be lighting a fire not long after I get there as it was -5 yesterday morning and -2 this morning.
Just look for the Jayco pop top with the Collingwood flag fluttering in the frost. Pauline sells her lead light glasswear and re-cycled odds and ends.
Ian and Pauline.

Herberton is way up high in the cloud line of the tablelands. Very cold place when the South Westerlys blow.

They go snow skiing there, as well! No, not really, but they do grow potatoes as well as every thing else you can think of. Some of the most fertile soils in OZ.I suppose being 3000ft up does have something to do with it.

Probably another Pies fan Jimbo. It's been colder than average everywhere. I spoke to a neighbour who's just come back from Townsville, and complained about the cold up there. Even the day time temps are down on the average. Keep warm everyone, and have fun at the markets.

I'm a pies fan too! Trouble is they're very fattening and not very nutritious so I have to limit myself to about one a week. (That includes pasties and sausage rolls too.)

My father was stationed on the Atherton Tableland at one (or more) stage during the war. I recall as a child his telling me about "The Land of Milk and Honey". Each time I visit the Tableland I see how apt his description was.
