We (Brian, Jenny, Jennifer) visited a number waterfalls, Nerada tea plantation, curtain fig tree and more.

Introduced Brian & Jenny to ”Coffee Works”. Just one of the many Atherton Tableland outlets which produce & serve really good quality coffee in pleasant surroundings.

I celebrated my 70th birthday with Jennifer, Bob & Sue and Brian & Jenny. The celebrations began on the evening before my birthday at a Cairns restaurant followed the next day on my birthday at a restaurant on the Marina… it was a long lunch and a memorable occasion. Feeling incredibly blessed 🥹

Today’s swim was closer and this time with Bob & Sue and Brian & Jenny. Very refreshing and good fun.

Just over an hours drive south of Cairns are Babinda Boulders and Josephine Falls. Another invigorating swim in fresh, cool waters.

Brian & Jenny arrived in Cairns yesterday. After dropping them off at their accommodation we had drinks and an evening meal together 😊. Sooo good spending time with family. In the morning we took the Skyrail up to Kuranda (train was not operating).

A walk after dinner with Brian & Jenny

To the relief of some we are back in the comfort of the caravan. The trip to the tip was extraordinary, too hard to describe in words or for that matter, pictures or videos. Best experienced first hand would be the recommendation.

Three days basically retracing our steps on way back to Cairns

Our last night in a tent was spent at Coen. The car was crying out for a big clean

Never seen this before… Air to inflate tyres (gravel roads now behind us) made possible by service station owner passing the air hose through a window and then turning on the air compressor!! Probably would have been quicker to get out our air compressor.

The “big event” for this adventure was finally realised.

Walk to the tip followed by drive to the east coast of the tip…
