We went for a drive
around Malanda and came by the
Nerada tea plantation. We were amazed at
the extensive area covered with tea bushes. We kind of drove around it and also
came by a bamboo plantation, which seemed to have been abandoned.
We followed the road
that brought us to Wooroonooran National
Park, where walking tracks are everywhere.
While driving around
Russell River,
we came up to this
lovely pony. I felt like taking him home
!
I found this fence
decoration very interesting, as it was in the mountains…
We finally came up
to Lamins Hill lookout and the view was just magnificent. Hills and valleys on
one side
and Mount Bartle Frere on the other, which is
the highest Queensland Peek (1,622 m).
You have to take you
hat off to the earlier pioneers who explored this area and made tracks through
the dense rain forests.
Wild dogs are
unfortunately everywhere and they have to put poison baits to control them.
This letter box I
thought was very original…
Back in Yungaburra,
in a little street that we hadn't gone through yet, we saw this huge tree,
which I guess the people who planted it, years ago, didn't think it would
outgrow its pot!
Finally back home we
are waiting for the wet season with impatience, as the lake is going down. We
need a lot of rain this year to refill it the way we're accustomed to.
