Nice easy start to the day, but finding wi-fi for our blogging needs is a bit like finding water in a desert. Nothing for ages then you gorge on it when you find it, in case it’s the last for a while! We managed a good bit of wi-fing catching up earlier, although finding the sweet spot on our site is interesting!

Had to top up our food, due to our dinner malfunction last night, so motored into Innisfail to Coles, over buying as usual.

En route we stopped at ‘Crawford look-out’, where we were immediately attacked by horse flies. They land anywhere on you and spike you with a very sharp needle, which goes deeper the longer they’re on you. Horrible creatures.
An older couple who lived here (yes even older than us) confirmed they were a ‘thing’ here at this time of year. Not a fan.

Later we had a fab walk through Ma-mu rainforest. Ground level and walkways through some of the canopy, plus a tower (100 steps 😵‍💫) with the most amazing views of the surrounds - Atherton Tablelands, distant rivers, etc. Lovely relaxed day, weather just right, and bonus: a freshly bought dinner.

Now back at our wi-fi location to conduct the final business of the day 😊Read more

Day203
My first Skydive!
April 16, 2017 in Australia ⋅ ⛅ 22 °C
Nachdem ich jetzt schon so viele Menschen kennengelernt habe, die es schon gemacht haben und selbst lange genug darüber nachgedacht habe, haben wir es nun einfach gemacht! 👌🏻
Als letztes großes Highlight in Australien haben wir einen Fallschirmsprung gemacht. 😍
Dieses Gefühl aus einem Flugzeug bei 15000 Fuß (mehr als 4 km Höhe!!!) zu springen ist wirklich unbeschreiblich.
Im ersten Moment sitzt man noch im Flugzeug und wird mit aufsteigen des Flugzeugs nervöser und nervöser und irgendwann öffnet sich dann die Tür und man sieht sieht wie die ersten Menschen aus dem Flugzeug springen. Dabei wird die Nervosität natürlich nochmal angehoben und wenn man selbst dann dran ist geht alles so schnell. Im ersten Moment sitzt man noch im Flugzeug und im nächsten Moment fliegt man einfach durch die Luft, fällt in einer rasenden Geschwindigkeit auf die Erde zu. Zum einen bewundert man die Welt, die von oben so faszinierend aussieht, zum anderen denkt man einfach man stirbt und schreit wie am Spieß.
60 Sekunden freier Fall ist länger als man denkt. Nach den ersten paar Sekunden hat man sich dann dran gewöhnt, streckt die Arme aus und genießt einfach den Moment.
Und wenn der Fallschirm dann aufgeht, kann man sich fallen lassen und noch mehr die Aussicht genießen. In meinem Fall die Aussicht auf Australiens Regenwald, Küste, Strand und Plantagen. Also wirklich traumhaft 😍

Es war ohne Frage eines der Highlights unserer Reise und eines der heftigsten aber auch besten Dinge, die ich bisher in meinem Leben gemacht habe! 🌎😍😊Read more

Day276
Onderweg
April 11, 2016 in Australia ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C
We rijden een klein stukje terug naar Mossman, waar vlakbij de Mossman Gorge ligt. Als we er aankomen blijkt het een commerciële bedoening te zijn. De toegang ligt ook op een dusdanige afstand van de site dat je met een pendelbus heen en weer moet. In Australië zijn uitstapjes en sites, óf gratis, óf duur. Hier is het dus duur. We laten deze gorge maar voor wat 'ie is en ploffen op het terras voor een bakkie koffie. We overwegen nog om de pendelbus niet te nemen en de bijna 4 km. te wandelen, maar Gordon is niet helemaal lekker en een wandeling in de felle zon met +30°C, wordt ge-veto-d. Onverrichter zaken gaan we door. Onze route leidt ons weer langs Cairns. En wederom schikt ons dat, omdat we na één afwasje, door ons 55 liter water heen zijn... En zoveel afwas hadden we nou ook weer niet. Daarnaast doet één brander het nog steeds niet goed. De monteur ontdekt al snel een losgeschoten waterslang. De brander blijkt een veel voorkomend euvel te zijn. Hier kunnen we nog wel eens last van krijgen, maar voor nu is het weer gefixt. Al met al zijn we een dag bezig met niks en rijden we voor de vierde keer over hetzelfde stuk weg. Toch blijft het een mooi gebied en wordt het minder benauwd en minder regenachtig. We stoppen onderweg nog een paar keer bij uitzichtpunten om er van te genieten. Vlakbij Innisvail zetten we de camper op een kleine camp site langs de weg. Uitzicht op suikerriet en prachtige roze/rode wolken in de ondergaande zon. We spotten later zelfs (eindelijk) het Zuiderkruis; de 'Poolster' van het zuiden.Read more

Innisfail-August Moon Caravan Park
June 16, 2021 in Australia ⋅ ⛅ 27 °C
Spent 10 nights in Innisfail at August Moon Caravan Park. Cameron and Julie are wonderful hosts and have avast knowledge about the area. We went for a swim in there pool the water was very good and we didn't stay in long.
Cameron was able to give us a couple of suggestions up see a Cassowary in the wild. We visited Mourilyan Harbour, Etty Bay Beach, Coquette Point and Flying Fish Point. Saw the Cassowary at Etty Bay. It walked up right behind Mark when he wasn't looking. We went back to Paronella Park. We went to Mamu Sky Walk, did the 3 waterfall tour ( Ellinjaa, Zillie and Millaa Millaa). Visited Josephine Falls, Babinda and Bramston Beach.
While staying in Innisfail we meet some fellow Mr Buckaroonie fans and got to meet the man himself. Mr Buckaroonie is a utuber we follow.
Next stop is Mount Garnet.Read more

Innisfail Last stay before Cairns
July 7, 2022 in Australia ⋅ ☀️ 17 °C
We were booked into Etta Bay caravan park a beautiful little place on the beach where the cassowaries roam the park.
When then they gave us our site it was on the grass that was a total boggy area ant the last van and car had made it a total mess 6” deep mud holes so we decided not to stay and found a last minute spot in Innisfail at River Drive van park on the main road ( great amenities but not the best but had to make do).
Great dinner in the Crown hotel.
Badinda bakery for a coffee stop

Innisfail Day 3
August 30, 2019 in Australia ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C
Visited an Antique shop just down the road from the Caravan Park, afterwards went to the Australian Sugar Heritage Centre at Mourilyan. They had a very good exhibition on history of sugar production. Drove down to Etty beach and saw a juvenile cassowary. Disappeared before we could get a photo. Went round to the sugar terminal but no ships were in dock. Headed back to caravan after picking up a few things at the supermarket.Read more

Day40
Innisfail
August 28, 2019 in Australia ⋅ ⛅ 24 °C
Day 1: Drove the short distance to Innisfail, a bit too early to book into caravan park so had a coffee at the road house across the road. Cameron showed us to our site at the park. went dow to the town centre for a look. Went to the information centre, BCF, supermarket etc. Bought some fresh prawns at the local seafood shop.
Day 2: Drove up to the Tablelands and visited the Mamu Tropical Skywalk. Climbed the tower! After leaving the Skywalk headed off towards Millaa Millaa. Stopped first at Crawfords lookout and then went around Theresa Creek Road and saw Ellinjaa Falls, Zillie Falls and Millaa Millaa Falls. Disappointed with the little township of Millaa Millaa as the only food place open was a food van. Drove onto Atherton stopping at Gallo dairy's for coffee. Returned to caravan for dinner.Read more

September 8, 2019 in Australia ⋅ ⛅ 26 °C
Decided that because of the fires down south we would head back instead of going up to Cooktown. Judy was disappointed. When we got to the Caravan Park, and I was in the Office paying the bill, Cameron got Judy to drive the caravan around to our site. When I got there she had parked the van probably better than me. Went into the city to buy some prawns but the fish shop was closed.Read more
