Last two days in Queensland

Our penultimate day in Queensland started with another fig tree.  This time the Cathedral Fig Tree.

Next, we went on a boat trip on Lake Barrine.

We walked the Mobo Creek Crater Walk.

We drove to Tinarro and walked along the dam

Our final day was spent driving from Yungaburra to Clifton Beach via Kuranda where we went on another boat trip and saw another waterfall.

After checking into our last night's accommodation, we drove further north to Port Douglas where we saw the sun set and we eat a Thai meal.

We got up early the next morning to get to the airport to fly to Sydney.  More on New South Wales next time.

So many waterfalls

On the second full day of our road trip in Queensland we first went to Paronella Park.  Do go to the website and find out about it.  It's a really interesting place.

We then drove to the Skywalk with some magnificent views.

After finding our accommodation for the night we drove to Ravenshoe and the Big Millstram Falls

 And Little Millstream Falls

The next day we went to the Millaa Millaa waterfall

Also the Zillie Falls and the Ellinjaa Falls.

We moved on to The Dinner Falls.  This photo shows one of the three waterfalls that made up the Dinner Falls.

As if all these weren't enough we then visited the less spectacular Malanda Falls

The highlight of the day was seeing the Fig Tree Curtain

We ended the day in Yungaburra where we checked in to a lovely motel for a 2 night stay.

Day 1 Down Under

Welcome back to armchair travelling.  We left Heathrow on Saturday morning and flew with Singapore Airlines via Singapore to Cairns, arriving late afternoon on Sunday.  We picked up the hire car, drove the hotel and then had a walk round and dinner.

The next  morning it looked like this.

Before leaving Cairns, we first went to a Mangrove Boardwalk.

Then on to the Botanic Garden.

We drove from Cairns to Innisfail, stopping off at The Boulders.

Innisfail was a disappointment.  There were lots of cars and some interesting buildings but hardly any people.

The most people we saw were in the Imperial Hotel pub and restaurant.  It was the only place that was open on a Monday night.  The next morning the only place to have breakfast was in the Italian restaurant next door.

We were glad to move on.  Come back on Tuesday to find out where we went next.
