Headed off this morning towards Undara to check out the Lava Tubes that we had heard so much about. Got there about 9.30 and the tours were all booked out until 1.30pm which was a bit disappointing so we had a free cuppa and got back on the road and set the navigators to Cairns and then onto Ellis Beach where Colin and Wendy are camping. We are all a bit excited to see the others and to exchange stories from when we left home until now. As we started down the ...

We were very organised today, a mechanic on the edge and a goose on the loose with a hema, leaving Emerald just after 7am. Straight to Charters Towers. We needed to do some calculations as to our route from here and according to the map and a bit of miss management we ended up on a wee little dirt road that was heading nowhere fast and had absolutely no idea where we where going...LOST... about face back the way we had come and thanks to the lovely folk at the ...

We arrived in Emerald around 5:30pm and had full intentions of heading to Charters Towers but after talking to the nice man in the caravan park we decided against it...

We drove up the mountain to Kuranda and went for a rainforest walk, of course it was raining. At the end of the pathway it came out to the Barron falls lookout, not much water coming over the falls but still spectacular. After that we went back into town and Wendy dragged me around the markets, in all not a bad day. Col & Wendy
