The Atherton Tablelands is renowned for its delightful mix of quaint village shops, world-famous markets and a strong arts and crafts tradition that continues to surprise and delight visitors. The Tablelands’ large creative community has opened smart and quirky art galleries, delightful boutiques and nearly every village has an arts and craft market. The region’s rich history had led to sought-after antique stores and great second-hand shops. The charming village of Kuranda in the northern Tablelands has long been home for creatives, and visitors to Kuranda can see and purchase their works all in one place at the Kuranda Arts Co-operative. The Co-op has been showcasing quality local artwork from its members since 1996 and has enjoyed many successes over the years, including exhibitions in Australia and abroad.
