Mareeba combines an open, dry tableland setting with tropical agriculture, reflecting its position on the western side of Queensland’s Atherton Tablelands. The Barron River runs nearby, as the cooler and wetter uplands begin to give way towards the savanna country of the interior. Coffee, mangoes, bananas and sugarcane are grown across the surrounding district, while the annual Mareeba Rodeo reflects its enduring rural character. The town is also a useful stop on routes between Cairns, Kuranda and the wider tablelands.
