The rain kept up most of the night and was still around in the morning so we ended up packing away soaking tents.
Before we left the campsite we did the Banggurru walk along Stony Creek and saw some saw-shelled turtles in the creek, but no platypus although there were supposed to be some there.
We then drove back to the falls before leaving the area, to check out if the falls were visible. They still weren’t, but we walked to the gorge lookout where we could see down into the valley and see the creek below.
The walk to the bottom of the falls left from there so we ended up being tempted to walk down to the bottom of the falls. We weren’t going to as we didn’t think we would be able to see anything, it was 300 metres down and back and 4 km in all. However, we were rewarded as we did get a clear view of the falls from there.
And when we got back up to the top the cloud had started to shift as well so the falls were visible again
By then we decided it was time to head off, back to the main highway and south on the Bruce Highway again, stopping off for a picninc lunch at Balgal Beach where it wasn’t raining and the sun was shining.
Next stop Townsville and the Rowes Bay caravan park where we were able to open up the trailers to air and dry.
