The Atherton Tablelands are renowned for their mild tropical climate, with a temperature that rarely exceeds 30 degrees. This makes for cool summer nights and mild, sunny winter days without the high humidity experienced in coastal areas. The rural landscape of the Atherton Tableland is green throughout most of the year. Among the World Heritage listed rainforests, national parks, mountains, rivers, lakes and waterfalls are some of Australia’s richest agricultural lands and charming townships. The towns of Mareeba and Atherton are the largest on the Tablelands. In comparison to the 2011 census, the population within the radio licence area of Atherton has increased by 6.23% to 55,331.
