Stretching the legs at Boodjamulla, (Lawn Hill) National Park
June 8, 2013
There were a couple of clues on the road in, that this place was going to be different! It was well worth the drive. Boodjamulla, (Lawn Hill) National Park was simply stunning. Spent some time here hiking around. When I look at the photographs it’s hard to believe they are all from the same place … More Stretching the legs at Boodjamulla, (Lawn Hill) National Park
Gone Fishing……….almost
June 5, 2013
Decided to take a little side trip to Karumba, a town known for fishing and sunsets. I got there in time for the weekly market. Love the body language on these men, they really don’t want to be there, I think they are just about tolerating their kids. Fishing here is serious business, the golf … More Gone Fishing……….almost
Gold Rush, no more
June 3, 2013
Had my first taste of what it might have been like around here for the goldrush. Spent a night in a town called Croydon, population of approx 225 people. Some interesting history here and some of the original buildings remain open and refurbished. I have 2 clear favourites on my history tour, the courthouse, complete … More Gold Rush, no more

Gently does it!

Spent some time in the Atherton tablelands, The tourist guides here are so descriptive, I was expecting paradise. There is lots to see and eat around here, lush countryside and rolling hills. Decided I needed some restorative relaxation so stopped at Innot Hot Springs (Kirsty, that’s different to ‘Innit’) Such a peculiar place staffed by … More Gently does it!

If you go down to the woods today………….
May 27, 2013
Wasn’t quite ready to wave goodbye to the coastline so drove a little further north to Cape Tribulation. Loved the Daintree Rainforest, it’s a slightly ravaged, often luscious and in combination a beautiful colourful natural mess. One morning I was sitting on Cow Beach, watching this guy fishing with his dog, think it was Tuesday, … More If you go down to the woods today………….
Weekend at Bernies / Cairns
May 24, 2013
I think this post will be brief for a number of reasons: 1) details are sketchy and 2) details are sketchy. However somethings will forever be etched on my memory. Had my first fly in vistor at the weekend in Cairns. Maeve Fogarty landed once the bats had let her through onto the runway and we … More Weekend at Bernies / Cairns
