We went to Josephine Falls this morning which was a beautiful and fun place but not suitable for young children. Matt and I took turns going down the rock slide into the freezing cold water. After landing in the icy water for the first time I thought it was too cold to do again but I quickly warmed up again and wanted to go a few more times. After a short time here we went up the road to Babinda Boulders. The swimming area was busy with canoeists so we went to ...

We had planned on visiting Paronella Park today. But driving there we were debating it after reading some bad reviews and it was quite expensive. We decided I would just go as I was more interested but as Matt came up for lunch the owner was at the front and greeted us. After Matt showed his hesitation, the owner gave us both a $10 discount and we both went in. You do really need to do a tour to get the most from the experience otherwise I'm sure you would be dis...

It was a short drive from camp to our next stop at Paluma National Park. We definitely squeezed one too many things into today, but I still had a great day and it allows us to get on the road early tomorrow. We started with leaving the camper trailer at the bottom of the windy hill just because we were coming back down shortly so didn't want to tow it unnecessarily. It was no worse than any hill we have previously done but it was quite long. We went to Little Cr...

We left early for a walk from the peninsula that headed to a couple of lookouts and bays. It was quite hilly but nice. The "Rock & Rev's" show was on so we dropped by to have a look at some old cars and the boys got free cupcakes. We stopped in at Townsville to have a look around and we were surprised by how big it is. We wisely left the camper in a side street before driving up to Castle Hill Lookout. There were a lot of people walking, running, cycli...

This was a place that really grew on me. It seemed a bit plain to start with but by the end I loved the setup. This was helped by just as we were about to leave we went to look at "the swimming pool". It was a beautiful spot but the water was too cold this time of year. There was also a good setup with a camp kitchen, fire place and swinging chair beside an entertaining cockatoo but we didn't know it was there as it was basically hidden and I only found it after ...
