Daintree

A “top 10” location (visited over 80 so far). Lush rain forest with endless shades of green; peaceful; commercialisation in a few areas only; creeks flowing with clean, clear water; variety of morning bird calls and much more experienced over 5 days. Road from ferry to our caravan site was narrow with many twists and turns!

Boardwalk through and above the rainforest

Bloomfield Track

Challenging 4WD road (steep eg max. was 31% gradient / up & down sections), north beyond Cape Tribulation & up to Bloomfield. On the way up we swam in Emmagen Creek… sooo refreshing. Picnic lunch at Bloomfield. Good fun, great day.

Another day in the Daintree south of the Cape

Herberton Heritage Village

Back in the 1950s, many relics were being sold off for scrap metal. Old buildings were being condemned for demolition. Collector Harry Skennar had a vision – to preserve history for generations to come. He set about creating The Village back in 1973, bringing the first building, Elderslie House, onto the site beside Wild River.

Bonadio RV & Nature Park

What a contrast! It’s been over three months of hot days, no rain and cloudless skies. Now based in close proximity to Atherton at Bonadio RV & Nature Park. The max. day temperature has dropped from mid 30’s to 22 and it’s cloudy with light showers.

Only a short walk to the Barron River…
