Emerald Creek Ice-Creamery

4 best food stops when on a road trip through Atherton Tablelands - SilverKris

"Located on Mareeba’s main road near a major highway junction, this family‑run ice‑creamery turned production hub churns out around 600 scoops on a busy day and offers about 45 gelato and sorbet flavours made from local ingredients. Born from former mango, avocado and passionfruit farmers branching into a fruit‑based business, the creamery uses produce such as dragon fruit, wattleseed and lilly pilly to create distinctive flavours; visitors can watch ice cream being made through a viewing window and buy scoops to round off a road‑trip through the Tablelands." - Catherine Best
