Forest Walks and Tea Plantations

Across the river from our camp is access to the Malanda Falls. Closed at the moment due to recent flood damage. Nearby is a mosiac, part of many on a town trail.

Across the road a forest walk. Turtles in the creek and sometime platypus. We spotted a local bird. The spotted cat bird is so named because of his cat like call.

Earlier in the day we drove out to the Nerada Tea plantation. Lunch there was very tasty washed down with local green tea. The tree kangaroos had been sighted minutes before we went looking but alas we could not find them. They are very hard to spot. Usually the nearly one meter long tail dangling is the first clue they are there. Later when we walked in the Malanda forest we did hear them.Meer informatie
