2. Millaa Millaa falls
Tomorrow the Atherton Tablelands:
Drove to Mareeba (overnight at Tolga). Found we had a flat tyre. Ray changed it and decided we would get it fixed in Atherton tomorrow. Couldn’t fix it, so we had to buy a new one.
Next day we did the “waterfalls drive” – an area in the Atherton Tablelands where there are lots of waterfalls and if you take the right roads you can fit a lot of them in on the one day. They are all really beautiful - Malanda falls, Millaa Millaa falls, Zwillie falls Ellinjaa falls and ended up at the wind turbine farm at Ravenshoe. Saw a cute little albino catfish at Milla Millaa falls.
Overnight just past the 40 mile Scrub National Park in the Misty Mountains. Woke up next morning and sure enough – ‘Mist’ – amazing. It turned into a beautiful day.
Continuing south we spent the next night by the Fletcher River just near Charters Towers.Today we have arrived in Claremont near the Blair Athol coal mine and apparently a good gold prospecting area. We have arrived right in the middle of a coal and gold festival
