Visits
- 2012-11-14: After the eclipse, we decided to head south to the Atherton Tablelands. On the way there, it seemed like a good idea to visit the Mareeba Wetlands. There were a bunch of people there however, probably because of the eclipse, so we did not get much of an opportunity to visit the area.
