Halloran’s Hill is one of my favourite spots to for for a picnic in the Cairns Highlands. It’s a little off the beaten track, as you drive through the streets of Atherton to find it, but once you get there its certainly worth the effort.
It’s a public space that was designed to incorporate a range of public art, an amazing view of Bartle Frere and the surrounding region, native wildlife, play areas for children, rainforest walking trails and sheltered public facilities for picnics and barbeques.
Our favourite thing is the play area here, there’s an excellent adventure playground but there’s also grassy mounds for kids to climb designed to mirror the hills of the surrounding landscape, and footprint trails featuring the pawprints of the native wildlife found here such as pademelons, bandicoots and dingoes.
