Mission completed! And reached Cairns....

G'day Mates,

Mission completed; Our little house on wheels is sold and I cried my eyes out when they came to pick it up and drove away. My God that hurts!


So that means; there still will be a few of my stories which includes our caravan but as soon as I catch up, there will be only us with the car, BUT, I promise, the adventures are not over YET!

Lets continue though with the trip with Danny, this will be the last one with him, then it's just us again. OK here we go......


I Hope you enjoyed my previous story? As I said, Paronella Park has a sister attraction and that's were we are going now, it's on the way to the Atherton Tablelands and named Mamu Tropical Skyway.....

Snake again??

No worries, this was a harmless little creature, its a tree snake and really beautiful!



Here we are on the 37 m high observation tower with two viewing decks, enjoying spectacular views over the North Johnstone River gorge and surrounding rainforest.



There is an elevated walkway, 350 m long, 15 m above the ground, meandering through the canopy of lush tropical rainforest...






After this nice experience we continued our trip to the Atherton Tablelands where I had booked a caravan park in Millaa Millaa, very nice again!

People who have been to the Atherton Tablelands know that it lies high and the road towards it is not very steep but goes up a very long way; result; cooking engine again! How can that be?? We just had a new radiator in Kalgoorlie ! We have to stop twice on very dangerous conditions on the side of the road and had to fill up the radiator again.

Anyway we managed to get to Millaa Millaa and next day we of course did the Waterfall Circuit...

We start with of course; Millaa Millaa Waterfall..



The surroundings are great!


and very green.....


Zillie....



Ellinjaa....


The Curtain Fig Tree near Yungaburra, which by the way, is a very nice little town!




Dinner Falls....


My intention was to drive from Millaa Millaa to Port Douglas, were our next stop was, via Malanda, Mareeba and Mount Molly but you can imagine that, with these problems with the car we didn't dare to do that so we went all the way back to Innesfail, hill going down, through Cairns to Port Douglas.

Again we had a great caravan park; the one I wanted to book; "Tropic Breeze" was booked out as there was a festival in Port Douglas during the time we were there, weren't we lucky!

The park with still a spot free was; Pandanus, Great Park!


At night the parade; sorry picture is not too good....


Port Douglas Beach....


Also during the day there were a lot of activities, especially for kids....


Sand sculpture competition...


After a great time in Port Douglas we went to Cairns for the last few day with Danny.
This park is very payable compared with the others in Cairns and again was a terrific choice;

Cairns Sunland Leisure Park!


The Cairns shore is amazing with nice BBQ spots.... 


Cairns at night....


Who do you think as been eating here?



The last night together...



And then, 5 weeks gone within a second, much too quick but the inevitable has come, packing the bags...


And then drop him off at the Cairns Airport....


A little shot from the flight radar from Singapore Airport where he had a few hours to spend till the next flight brings him to Amsterdam. 



We have to race back again to Townsville where we have a house sit, AND we bought a house in the Netherlands without being there, curious?? Stay with me then!

That's next guys, till then!

Cheers
