Top Things to do in Yungaburra

  • • Plan your stay by calling into the Yungaburra Visitor Information Centre in the heart of this heritage village. Get advice from the volunteers and stock up on local products and gifts.
  • Pay your respects at the Afghanistan Avenue of Honour on the shores of Lake Tinaroo. This moving tribute and living memorial is dedicated to the memory of all who served in the Afghanistan campaign.
  • Sit quietly at the Platypus Viewing Platform for the chance to see a frolicking Platypus in Peterson Creek. The best times are early morning, late afternoon and any time on a cloudy day.
  • Follow the Peterson Creek Walk for a natural and cultural journey with great wildlife spotting along the creek.
  • Discover Yungaburra’s heritage buildings and their history on the Old Town Loop.
  • Stretch your legs on the Allumbah Heritage Walk and step back in time to the Yungaburra that was.
  • Join farmers, artisan food producers and craftspeople on the village green on the fourth Saturday of each month for the Yungaburra Markets. These are the oldest and largest markets on the Tablelands and you need to arrive early as some stalls sell out very quickly.
  • Visit the Curtain Fig National Park on the edge of the village. Gaze up at the unique Curtain Fig Tree, decorated with epiphytic fern amid endangered Mabi forest.
  • Browse the numerous boutiques, shops and galleries and take home a gift from a local artist. Enjoy a meal or a snack in a quaint café or restaurant.
  • Swim, sail, ski, paddle and fish at Lake Tinaroo — don’t let the massive barramundi get away this time!
  • Explore the crater lakes of Barrine and Eacham in Crater Lakes National Park. Both have circuit walks through fringing rainforest. parks.des.qld.gov.au/parks
