Sunday 25th
Our last few hours at the Sanctuary were spent having an enourmous breakfast and trying not to leave anyofour stuff there. We drove north out of Mission Beach to Innisfail, where we turned west and headed along the Palmerston Hwy towards Millaa Millaa to see some waterfalls. The drive was beautifull, as we got higher up into the tablelands there was a lot of rolling green hills and it started to look very similar to the Peak District or somewhere like that. We went all the way to Ravenshoe and stayed at an old Steam Railway station for the night - the caretaker of the campsite lived in an actual railway carriage. She gave us a half price discount because we asked nicely so $5 par van was pretty good. Shower was super hot which was really good as it got quite cold here by the morning.
Monday 26th
After an heroic amount of faffing we got on the road for approx 40sec before stopping off for brunch at a local Cafe, where we met a nice dutch lady who chatted with us for ages in dutch so I have no idea what it was about. We then drove from Ravenshoe to Little Mill Stream falls and Big Mill Stream Falls.They were pretty, but the weather was all rainy and crap so we didnt spend much time there which was probably more of a blessing as we managed to get our arses into gear and see a lot of things. After a quick look at the pretty water falls we then drove up the road a bit to The Crater at Mt Hypipamee Nt Park. It was basically a HUGE hole in the ground but it looked pretty cool. We threw some rocks in it. Standard.
Carried on up to Atherton where we stayed the night in a large free campsite up the road a bit.
