After a walk along the beach
we decided to have breakfast at the cafe at the caravan park since the weather was still very unpredictable.
Drove on through Tully to Cardwell where we stopped for a while and also checked out the development at the Port of Hinchinbrook on our way, before driving out to Lucinda. Unfortunately we didn’t get to see much of Hinchinbrook Island as it was shrouded in cloud
Or hidden behind a huge great sugar loading conveyor
Passed thorough lots of cane fields with the Victoria and MacKnade sugar mills in the background
Stopped off in Ingham to refuel and then on to Wallaman to the highest sheer drop waterfall in Australia at 305 metres. We stood at the lookout to see the falls but at one point we could only hear them, they were completely hidden in cloud.
We did however manage to finally get a glimpse
As it was getting late we decided to check out the Wallaman Falls campsite. Needless to say there weren’t many people crazy enough to be out camping in this weather so there was space for us to set up camp.
There was also a covered area with cooking facilities so fortunately we were able to cook and eat in the dry as it continued to rain on and off all evening and into the night. Although we did end up sharing the shelter with an "interesting" young guy and his girlfriend that ended up sleeping in the shelter as their tent was saturated. They kept us amused over dinner with their conversation and their music.
We were also treated to a display of fireflies
