Mareeba is a vibrant agricultural town on Queensland's Atherton Tablelands, approximately 60 kilometers inland from Cairns. Known as the "Land of the Savannahs," this historic hub sits at the crossroads of several highways and offers a cooler climate than the coastal regions.
Famous for its coffee plantations, tropical fruit farms, and thriving mango industry, Mareeba showcases the region's rich farming heritage while serving as a gateway to outback Queensland and Cape York Peninsula.
