In Crater Lakes NP there are 2 volcanic crater lakes. Lake Barrine, 10km NE, is the largest of the crater lakes with clear blue waters 65m deep and fringed with lush rainforest. There is a 5.14km-circuit track beginning at the lake's edge. Daily flora and fauna cruises on the lake are available. Lake Eacham, 5km east, has a 2.8km track encircling the lake also surrounded by differing pockets of rainforests; the complexity of rainforest com-munities is primarily determined by soil fertility and rainfall. Swimming is popular and there are BBQ and picnic facilities. The famous and much photographed Curtain Fig Tree is located 2.5km SW of town in a small forestry reserve. Lake Tinaroo, 3km north, offers boating, fishing, waterskiing, sailing and swimming. On the eastern shores of Lake Tinaroo, there are The Chimneys, Mobo Creek Crater and Cathedral Fig Tree. Malanda, 20km south of Yungaburra, has its 19th-century Majestic Theatre. The Malanda Falls CP and Scenic Reserve offers a variety of signposted rainforest walks.
