Why not take a detour! From the centre of town look for the sign to Mt Misery. Sad name but a great drive. Avoid the Ibis Dam turn off and drive slowly through what looks like someone's back yard and then up to Mt Misery. This would require a 4WD in the wet. The road follows ridge-tops around the 1,000 metre altitude mark and is one of my favourite drives in North Queensland – it's generally known as Top Nettle. In autumn and winter in the late afternoon and early mornings, this botanically scenic drive tempts you to get out of the car on a regular basis! Wander among the granite boulders and grass trees, cypress pines and lemon-scented gums. Turn off right (west) which takes you through old and new mining tenements to Mt Garnet – while the roads to the left or continuing straight will take you to the Silver Valley Road and then to either Herberton or Mt Garnet. To do a loop from Atherton will take you around four hours and just over 200 km, however I'd encourage you to make a full day of it (or overnight). Get out of your car and take in the sights, sounds and smells of this great part of the Tablelands.
