Spectacular Chillagoe Caves with Billy Tea Safaris
Posted: 20 Oct 2011

This photo was taken yesterday on tour with Billy Tea Safaris on the Chillagoe Caves & Outback Tour.

The Chillagoe Limestone Caves were formed some 400 million years ago, these are spectacular.  There are over 600 caves in the Chillagoe area.  This area was once an inland sea.  The weather yesterday at Chillagoe was beautiful and sunny, the rain is only on the coast.  This is one of the many attractions you will get to see on this fabulous outback tour.

We are delighted to announce that the Tablelands branch of Hire For Baby will open on Monday!  Juanita Hunter (nee Paronella) is a born and bred Tablelander and is looking forward to assisting with all your baby equipment requirements!

Skybury's roaster is smoking
Posted: 27 Jan 2010
Skybury's Australian Coffee Centre at Mareeba has an impressively large, cast iron drum roaster now roasting the daily grind of Skybury coffee in the foyer, sending the aroma of freshly toasted coffee beans into the surrounding fields.

"We're roasting at 9am each day and it’s a terrific process to watch. It takes about 15 minutes to complete the cycle, and it's tantalising - you really want that cup of coffee when you smell the roasting beans!," said Skybury owner Ian MacLaughlin.

Skybury's new roaster has a capacity of 15kg per roast and is equipped with a loader and separate green bean hopper to enable continuous roasting so it’s capable of processing up to 90kg per hour. The roaster has probes which monitor the temperature of the coffee roasting drum and the coffee beans. These measurements are used by internal computers to modulate the gas supply and temperature according to the pre-set roast specifics.
