We only had about 2 hours driving to do today. Planned it so we could sightsee around Cairns.

We stopped off midway at a town called Innisfail. The guide book’s description of it made it sound ideal for a coffee and good place to stop at the nearby Flying Fish Point. But it rained and it looked far from appealing. So getting a coffee and sausage roll at the nearest BP, we headed on.

We started to pass more banana plantations rather than the sugar cane on previous days. We also passed the tallest mountains in Queensland, at 1622m, Mount Bartle Frere but you couldn’t see it for the mist 🙄 The whole mountain range was more dense and taller than others we’ve seen previous days.

We had booked the NRMA Cairns Holiday park and arrived there about 11:30am. We took one look at it and agreed it wasn’t great. Other camps were clean, good provisions and amenities. This one was tired looking and in need of an update.

So we decided to treat ourselves since this was the last day of motoring. So we celebrated by booking a 5-star hotel, Crystalbrook Flynn next to the lagoon and esplanade. Well, why not?! 😄

The view from the seventh floor was more than enough, never mind the room 😊 After checking in, we left the campervan back early. We were relieved 😅Weiterlesen
