Day 68 Innot Hot Springs - Ravenshoe - Cairns "one banana, two banana, three banana, four. Four bananas make a bunch and so do many more....." Sugar to the left, Bananas to the right.... A totally different driving day today. We left Innot at 9am after another plunge in the hot pools and continued our journey towards the coast. We stopped at Millstream Falls which are the widest falls in Australia and is a pretty little spot. Shame you can't camp there overn...

Day 67 Georgetown - Mt Surprise - Undara Lava tubes - Innot Hot Springs "cause I, I am going to explode, detonator set to go, I'll be human volcano...." We left the pretty Georgetown to continue our journey East towards the coast this morning. The Gulf Development Road is a mixture of narrow dual lane roads and narrow single lane roads. Always fun when the road trains come flying thru on the single lane when you're towing a van! We stopped at Mt Surprise - wh...

Day 66 Georgetown "riding on the range, I got my hat on, I got my boots dusty, I've got my horse....." Well partners, we stayed another day in Georgetown.

Day 65 Karumba - Normanton - Croydon - Georgetown "Country girl shake it for me....." Yee hah - roll up folks it's Rodeo time in the Queensland Outback. We were up and ready to roll out at 8am today. I enjoyed my time in Karumba but would find it hard to justify spending any more than 2 nights here unless of course you (a) had a boat, (b) wanted to fish all day and everyday or (c) wanted to escape the winter and do (a),(b) or just sit around and do nothing at...

Day 62 Karumba "I'm heading out where the water is much deeper. I'll save myself from saving you......" I once caught a fish this big..... I've always wanted to travel to the Gulf of Carpentaria and go fishing. Ideally for Barramundi and catch a huge one that will feed a small village, however, seeing as its too cold in the water for Barra just now, I was happy just to go fishing. I dont do a lot of fishing you see but I do enjoy it though, but really only if...
