Atherton

Tropical North Queensland, Queensland

Atherton is a town located in the Tropical North Queensland region of Queensland, in an area called Atherton Tableland. The place-name was derived from John Atherton, one of the town's founders.

Atherton enjoys a tropical climate, with frequent light rains that makes temperature within and around the town much cooler compared to other parts of the area.

The town used to have a large Chinese settlement, the Chinatown, during the 1800s. Apart from making a huge contribution in the area's agricultural development, the Chinese community also left a beautiful legacy in the form of the Hou Wang Temple. Read more...
