Paronella Park

A quick maccas stop before heading to our first destination, Paronella Park. Luckily the weather is much nicer today. The park was built by a Spanish man who dreamt of a fairytale castle to live in after hearing stories from his grandmother. So after working incredibly hard, moving to Australia, working harder again and saving his money, he bought the land and started building. It was so bizarre but a fantastic spot. Just a bunch of Spanish castles and buildings in a rainforest. We went on the included half an hour walking tour where we heard more about Jose's story, before heading off on our own. There were plaques on the grand staircase showing flood levels over the years, there have been some big ones! So many wonderful spots and very photogenic. You get 2 years entry with your ticket, so if we're in the area again in that time, we'll definitely be back.Baca lagi
