Photos:1. Hinchenbrook Island from Cardwell
2. Sugar cane fields Townsville to Cardwell
We have decided to cut across to Tully from here, where we will volunteer with Blaze Aid for a couple of weeks.
Travelling through Charters Towers, Townsville, Ingham and Cardwell.
Beautiful misty mountain scenery with miles and miles of sugar cane fields.
Cardwell is opposite Hinchenbrook Island where there is much evidence of the terrible cyclone earlier this year.
The Tully residents were very badly hit by the cyclones and many of them have still not had any assistance. The insurance companies are proving very difficult to deal with and depression has started to set in with many of the smaller farmers in the area. This is a huge sugar cane area and the sugar refinery in Tully runs 24 hours a day with smoke/steam billowing from its three huge chimney stacks.
Finished my first ‘Drunkards Path’ block.
