Patches of rainforest
This picture has been taken in the Atherton Tablelands, which are a fertile plateau part of the Great Dividing Range in Queensland. It is located west to south-south-west inland from Cairns, well into the tropics, but its elevated position provides a climate suitable for dairy farming. it has an area of around 32,000 km² with an average altitude between 600 and 900m AHD. The fertility of the soils in the region can be attributed to the volcanic origins of the land.
You can still find some patches of rainforest in this area, as the next fig tree pictures will show.
Not the end of day light conditions I would have dreamt of on this picture, but bush fires and I guess dust from the desert still obscured the sky.
