Seven Sisters Yungaburra


The road from Atherton to Yungaburra passes between seven volcanic cones or mounds. Further on past Yungaburra, are the two more well known crater lakes, Barrine and Eacham, so the whole area points to having been a volcanic hotspot some time ago. The volcanic mounds have been called the Seven Sisters even though Peter feels there is an eighth. Maybe it was decided it should be seven to be in keeping with the constallation Pleides and all the folk stories that go along with it.

Peter's mum has her hair washed in Yungaburra each week, so the Seven Sisters are seen and appreciated fairly often.
