We walked down to the local Pub last night for some well needed exercise, then back to the motel. Woke up around the normal time this morning and just took life easy. Today was to be a quiet sightseeing day. Hopefully the next few days will be relaxing “drive and view days” having got all the “have to do” things done. Our only problem is in route planning, there doesn’t seem to be too much available accommodation. We wanted to return via the inland route, but it seems this may not happen. Instead we will probably have to make our way back to the coast initially and try to pick up the inland route further south. Lyn is busy slaving over a well used and tattered map trying to see what can be done.
We left the motel and headed back into Yungaburra for some photos of the place.
From here it was off to the Curtain Fig Tree, whatever that may be! As usual I’ll be lazy and give a reference, it’s interesting and worth reading right here!
Found in the parking lot for Catriona!
Next was a trip up Halloran’s hill for a view across the Atherton Tablelands, a large flat area of rich farm land.
From here we headed to Herberton for a coffee break (no cream cakes though, the joys of being in the middle of nowhere!!). Shortly after we left Herbeton we saw a sign for a lookout, so off we went. As you can see we have lost the sunshine; today was much cooler at 24C/76F
We also met this guy in the parking lot
From here we followed some good twisty roads with hills towards Milla Milla, climbing up to 3300ft. This was a good place for lunch before starting on the “Waterfalls Loop.
First falls were the Milla Milla falls
Next stop on the loop was the Zillie Falls
And finally the Ellinjaa Falls
From there we meandered back to find our cabin for the night, which was only about 40kms from last nights stop!
The cabin is somewhat isolated in a place called Tarzali, but on a very nice property. The owners also make pewter jewelry and other items, we will be getting a tour of their workshop tomorrow.
