G'day. We are now at a lovely large park, at the bottom of the mountains, inland from Ingham. On the way in were shocked by the damage from cyclone Yasi. The forest had been ripped to pieces. Thousands of trees just snapped off.
The camp is a really pretty, peaceful spot that has a nice deep swimming spot, in the rocky creek. The rainforest is lovely. We are starting to see a lot of palm trees and unusual plants that are not familiar to me. Heaps of ferns and plants with very large leaves. The birdlife is also fantastic but unusual.
We have seen quite a few Ulysses butterflies now. They are awesome. They have the most amazing irridecent electric blue coloured wings. Garry found a Cassowary this morning.
The weather has been lovely recently. A balmy 20 ~25 degrees most days with cold nights.
This camp is not near any shops so I have been baking bread in the fire, using the camp oven Greg gave me.
Garry is happy with his new Genny.
It works well, is fuel efficent and fairly quiet. We new if he got one the sun would shine for the solar panel.
The next place we are camping is Murray Falls. I'm looking forward to checking out the coast between here and Cairns too.
Lots of love to all. I'm a bit home sick. Xxxx
