Left Cairns this morning for you said goodbye to Bev and Sharon had dinner with them and Graeme and Catherine last night travelled over the Gillies range to lunch stop at raven shoe and then on to Talaroo hot springs for the night had a swim in the Einasleigh river very pleasant. Unfortunately it’s school holiday time and a lot of stuff is booked out so we’re finding we’re having to book ahead.
Next morning after I went for the walk I ran into one of the aboriginal guides to the hot springs and after being denied the tour the day before managed to wangle a tour for the three of us at 10 o’clock today and it was fantastic.Les mer

ReisendeI was thinking about Michael’s brakes. Maybe it’s because he’s behind the cruiser and has to break all the time.😂😂😂

Another sleep in today on Sunday. Michael and I went down to the rocks to do a bit of fishing, caught nothing. We use the bait net and practised trying to cast the bait net in the perfect circle. Still caught nothing. Then in the afternoon we went across to Karumba and did a bit of shopping before we head off to Leichardt Falls tomorrow. While we went fishing Julie went up to the market at the Sunset Tavern.Les mer

Arrived here after a long arduous 3 km trip up the road from the hidden Valley car park and sit up here for the next three nights. Went to the casino for tea which was very nice. Had Chinese and watch the footy on the big screen. Had a look around town And took about an hour and that was about it.
15/6 win got a haircut this morning and then in the afternoon did a little bit of cleaning up around the van. Dinner this evening was at the view restaurant at the casino. We went back to the casino to watch the bombers and the cats on the big screen in the sports bar, but gave up at half time because the bombers were getting thrashed.
16/7 plan the rest of our trip today and in the afternoon went and had a look at the Beer Can Regatta down on Mindil Beach and ran into Micky and Janet Douglas who were up here, staying at their sons place in Parap.Les mer

Big sightseeing day today, started the velocity sandstone rocks which were quite impressive. Had a walk around them, with a bit of four-wheel driving to get there. Just lucky we didn’t take the ice susu because it was fairly rough. Second stop was Wangi Falls where the person got Savage by the crocodile, but I reckon I’ve got the crock out but we didn’t have a swim anyway. Beautiful spot though. After Wang Falls, it was round to the Cascades but did not do much there because it was sharpe then off to Darwin River Tavern where we had lunch. This is a good place for a camping. We need to keep this in mind for our next trip. Last stop was Berry Springs and we had a swim. There floated down from the top pool to the big pool and then came back to camp at zebra stone in Litchfield. Fish and chips for tea tonight and will have our fire last night here and we’re off to Dunmurra tomorrow.Les mer
