The Green Fig has such a massive example here they dedicate a national park to it. Near Yungaburra where they have the Curtain Fig Cafe and stuff.
The last photo is if us peeking through the Platypus hide on the edge of Yungaburra. Daytime. Little chance of seeing the elusive critters.

Days 12 through 38-ish February basically
The caravan is parked and inert in O's driveway in Atherton. There is SO MUCH to see and do in the Atherton Tablelands it's literally mind-boggling. We've moved into O's spare bedroon in the high set house on the NW edge of town.
On Top of Mt Baldy, looking down on Atherton at sunset. Been up here twice already. 1015 ft climb up the hill.

Our Golden eagle parked in the drive of O's house. You have to look very carefully to see it! From the Top of Mt Baldy, 3.5 kms away, using a 15x lens and 8x digital zoom.

Days 10 and 11 Charters Towers to Atherton
Day 10 was a rest day after the long haul from Alpha to Charters. The Caravan Park was quiet enough and I caught up on this blog in the morning, did some washing and went swimming in the council pool. Finished series three of Whitechapel. Great series. Day 11 got on the road about nine, and actually overtook a cattle truck on the 130kms to Townsville. Exciting.
We managed to keep the aircon on most of the way until we started up the very steep (10%) Highway from Innisfail to Malanda. Down to second gear a lot of that way but because of the very quick climb it got high and cool quite quickly.Arrived about 5pm with only shot stops near Ingham and Cardwell.
Very carefully backed into O's drive in Atherton with inches to spare, to park the van for several weeks before we head back down south. Day 11 was 29 January2013.
