Fraser Island
Took a bus tour of Fraser Island. Rode the ferry across after being picked up from the caravan park at 7am. Great day was had.
Paronella Park
A Spanish immigrant in the 1920's builds an epic tourist attraction by his own epic efforts. It's under restoration and heritage orders and is simply amazing.It's south west of Innisfail, near South Johnstone. Whose river is infested with saltwater crocodiles. There is currently a 1.6m croc in the creek at the bottom of Mena Falls, that drives the hydroelectric turbine that powers Paronella Park and the neighbouring village. Cool.

Yeppoon
Great park on the beach which is a dog friendly beach. Go Louise!
Sarina
Long haul from townsville after deciding to go on from Airlie Beach. Got in late and found the Sarina Palms well after dark. First time on the trip. Lovely atmosphere for a crowded park with a lot of permanent guests.

Ravenshoe
Highest town in Queensland (over 1100 metres) and had lunch at the Tully Falls Hotel (highest pub in Queensland) which had the best fish and chips. We then drove the uncertain distance to Tully Falls. Great drive almost all the way to Tully - no road connection as the falls are a considerable drop down into the valley. Great rainforest drive. Drove back the Info Centre at Ravenshoe where there was a great museum regarding the Jirrbal people.
Fitzroy Island
Had to do a snorkelling day so drove down to Cairns to get on the boat to Fitzroy Island. The coral gardens and fish diversity was great.
