The Atherton Tablelands, Queensland, OZ

Named after the great english opener......err we assume not, much more likely to be in honour of some minor Victorian civil servant, it seems to be the favoured naming convention.
Anyway the point of the tablelands is they're higher and cooler - all verdant and misty cool (almost), it's two or three degrees cooler than the coast and much quieter, we like it.
The major sites are either large trees; cedars, pines and the favourite, big strangler figs, or holes in the ground, always called craters, irrespective of whether they are or not.
The 'highlight' is the mangos, they're in season, cheap and everywhere. 20p for a mango the size of a cabbage is a good thing. Particuarly when the brutes taste so good.

English teachers say "Punctuation and capital letters are very impt!"
Rest of us say, "Carry on, you're making us all giggle!"
