MISSION BEACH
Went For a drive down to Mission Beach and environs. A perfect day weather wise and beautiful white sand beaches for miles, a lot cleaner than Kurrimine.
Stopped on Clump Point where there are magnificent views over the clear blue water to Dunk Island and Hinchinbrook in the distance.
Stopped for lunch at Mission Beach right where the parachutists were landing, three lots of them.
Attempted to ring my cousin Carol but did not have a lot of luck with the mobile (she lives there).The next day when checking my email I found that as Carol did not know my phone number and that she had to go to Cairns for the weekend she had left her details for Anne to put into another email, but by the time I found this out it was all too late as we were then in Ingham. It turned out that she lives in Garner Beach were we had been and she has had cassowaries in her back yard.
Went on to Tully (reported to be the highest rainfall in Aust) and then back to the park on the Bruce Hwy.
Drove into Silkwood which is the nearest town to Kurrimine.
Earlier in the week I had seen on Google Earth that there was a Geocache in the Park behind us so went for a hunt, and FOUND IT, my first and without a GPS. Now that my appetite has been whetted there will be no stopping me (apart from Di not letting me buy one as they cost over a thousand bucks!!!). Anyway I was pretty excited as I didn’t really know what I was looking for.
