Waterfalls, Lakes and Gorges.

Hi all. We have spent the last couple of weeks in the most beautiful places.
From Innisfail we headed inland and saw heaps of lovely waterfalls and rainforest. We camped at Henrietta campground in Wooroonooran National Park. The forest was fantastic. Undamaged by Yasi for a change.
We have lost count of how many waterfalls we saw but they were all beautiful.
From here we went to Lake Tinaroo in Danbulla National Park. This area was so peaceful. We camped in Kauri Creek, an area ideal for kayaking. Glassy water surrounded by forest. We managed to get some more Redclaw and enjoyed exploring this beautiful dam.
Had a couple of great day trips from here too. We enjoyed the Cathederal Fig tree and the Crater lakes. On another trip we explored Barron Falls and Karanda. Then onto Port Douglas and Mossman via Cairns.
Mossman Gorge was beautiful but we had to enter on a short bus trip.
The gorge was spectacular with rainforest, fast flowing crystal clear water that looked luminous as it caught the sunlight. The water flowed over large boulders. There were several deep swimming holes but we forgot our togs and the water was icy cold. Had a fantastic time though.
We have loved this area but from here we are heading towards home via Lawn Hill and The Alice.
Cape York will have to wait until we have more time next trip. There are a few chores that need to be done in Goolwa before grain carting starts.
Well bye for now. Looking forward to seeing everyone in a couple of thousand k's. Xxxxx.
