The extended local area is an ecological
wonderland of delight for the traveller. It is one of the most
diverse regions in Australia with 4 distinct landscapes within a very
small area. A highlight is to visit
"Platypus Bend" only a 15 minute drive from Atherton
& The Summit, it is a 71 ha private property which is registered as
"Land for Wildlife".
Walks and canoe hire are available to get up close and view native rainforest
with some of its inhabitants, such as platypus, Lumholtz
tree kangaroo's, echidna's, green ring tailed possums, pademelons,
Johnstone river turtles, fish and lots more, without the tourist "hordes"
found at other sites.

Mountain Bike
riding, plans are in place for this region to be a leader in such
pursuits as Mountain Biking to complement other activities as walking, kayaking and road cyclists.
