So today we got up and breakfasted and headed out with Lucy and the kids to Mission Beach to meet Jane, a teacher friend who used to work with mum and Lucy. Although we didn't actually need to go to Mission Beach as we met her at the petrol station! So we travelled in convoy for the majority of the journey. When we arrived at Mission Beach we had a lovely coffee (well milkshake for me) and a lovely catch up on the last few years!! After fully catching up and gett...

Today we got up and dressed and headed back to the Whistlestop Cafe for another yummy breakfast, before checking out of our hotel and heading to Herberton Historic Village. When we got to Herberton we wandered around looking at all the different houses and shops which were set up as they were in the past.

Our first stop was Barron Falls where we took the short walk down to the viewing platform. As there hasn't been much rain recently the falls weren't that spectacular. While here we saw a few different birds and lots of butterflies. After the falls we headed down to the platform to s...

Well I had a surprisingly good night's sleep in our rainforest cabin after I convinced myself the gap between the floor and door was big enough for a snake or spider to crawl through!! Thankfully this didn't happen and I survived a night in the rainforest!! So we got up this morning, had breakfast and headed down to the beach to see it one last time before we left. The tide was in so it was a rather shorter walk than we imagined. After our walk we headed back to ...
