Lake Barrine, formed over 17,000 years ago, originated from a volcanic eruption. Hot molten rock meeting groundwater led to explosive events, creating a crater. The resulting massive explosion removed the central core, forming the lake as rainwater filled the vast crater.

the historic Yungaburra Hotel is a timber masterpiece and the second-largest of its kind in the southern hemisphere. Built in 1910 by Henry Williams, it quickly became the heart of the region, hosting lively New Year's Eve parties and weddings for decades. The art deco extension in 1926 accommodated the bustling traffic from the Gillies Highway. Marvel at the timber facade and interior, a testament to the durability of local cedar and oak. With two bars, a bustling restaurant, private function rooms, and a charming garden, the Yungaburra Hotel remains a favorite among families and couples seeking refuge from the coastal heat. While no longer offering accommodation, its allure lies in the mild climate, sitting 720 meters above sea level, and the myriad attractions nearby, including Yungaburra Village, The Avenue of Honour, and the picturesque lakes Tinaroo and Eacham."

The Curtain Fig Tree, a member of the Ficus virens species, begins as a strangler fig. Typically, it germinates atop a host tree, grows roots into the ground, eventually overtaking and killing the host. In a unique twist, this fig's host tree leaned toward another, resulting in a captivating display of aerial roots forming a spectacular 15-meter curtain that gracefully descends to the ground."
