We decided to venture out yesterday. We left in the morning and travelled south of cairns. We first visited Barron Falls it was a walk down to the fall but a very pretty one. The train line run down beside the waterfalls. There weren’t oversized or anything, but they were big enough. On the track we found a huge ants nest built into the tree it was very fascinating i have never seen anything like it we took a photo. Some one had dropped their camera over the boardwalk and it was a fare distance down lying among the rocks and there were a couple of guys heading down the embankment to rescue this camera which had fallen amongst rocks. They were very lucky that it didn’t smash when hitting the rocks. We made it back to the car and headed on our way. The town where the waterfalls are is a tourist town but they have a big ship and to see it from behind you think it might be a house but looking at it from the front it is a shop. Very well done.
Our next stop was Coffee Works in Mareeba we were all excited to stop for a coffee. It was a nice shop and there were lots of things to buy but we were hungry and coffee just wasn’t going to do it for us. So we headed into the town of Mareeba and had some lunch.
We then headed back to Cairns and on the way we stopped at Yungaburra where the Curtin Fig Tree is. You walk out on a board walk and there is this huge tree well actually it is a vine that takes over a tree it is very fascinating it see how this vine worked. We headed back along a very windy road and it seemed to go for ever. We stopped into the supermarket to pick up a few groceries and headed home for tea.
