Innot Springs – Walkamin

Leaving Innot Springs with dark clouds on the horizon we actually have fog to contend with through the mountains. Cameron spots signs for past World War ll sites on the side of the road so pull over to take photos and met up with a returned Afghanistan Vet, who is organising the resigning of the sites, making a app and map eventually. Had a very interesting talk. As both our fathers served time here we decide to return in August and follow up.

Visit Ravenshoe info centre and obtain a map of the camp that was at Ravenshoe during the war. As we don’t have any site booked tonight we need to move on so shall return next month.

Mountain fog and winding roads to Millaa Millaa where we stop for lunch drizzly rain, but plenty of interesting photos to be taken.

Statues and massive wood logs.

Looking at the map decide on Kurrimine Beach. Haven’t seen sea for awhile and great choice absolutely gorgeous even though overcast skies.

A drive today drizzling rain so visited Tully & Mission beach.

The gumboot height is 7.93 metres high, and erected because it has the highest rainfall in Australia and you need gumboots to walk around.

On our drive with see a paw paw crop and a stall so of course had to stop and buy as it is Cameron’s favourite, at least fresh doesn’t have the smell, which I can’t stand.

We took a wrong turn off and ended up a South Johnston on the edge of Innisfail.

We are travelling 30 kms today such a big day!!! Take note John & Michelle, we are going to Parenella Park, Mena. I am sorry but there are quite a few photos we absolutely loved it.

We are staying at The Paddock a caravan park owned by Paranella Park, and I will have to say one of the if not the best parks ever. You could have a ball in the amenities block, very very clean and plenty of facilities.

After all the photos didn’t show that every building Jose built there is a view of the Mena Falls. Very impressive.

Not much comment for those photos.

We had a wonderful time at Parenella Park and we now are going to a sister park Mamu Skywalk. Another venture of Mark he holds the lease on the land. Well what can I say photos don’t do it justice but the trees are a sight to see and so dense. Again plenty of photos.

We ventured up the highest fire tower in Queensland but unfortunately we didn’t take a photo but the above photos were taken from it. There was 101 steps to the top, but a fantastic view of the tops of the trees and dense vegetation.

We are staying at Walkamin for 5 nights. A lovely park and the owners Mark & Katri are very energetic always mowing, watering and cleaning the grounds. Grassy sites and storage which we are going to use for 17 nights.

Caught up with Clive & Linda at the distillery then tea at their van. Lovely night, beautiful sunset .

Our van now going into storage for 18 days as we continue on our next adventure!!!!
