Waterfall Circuit

We head back towards Ravenshoe and do the waterfall circuit. There are about 10 to see and all have their own different characteristics.

Then we drive to the MaMu Rainforest walk which has over 1km of elevated platforms over looking the North Johnstone River Gorge.

It is spectacular and wasn’t built until after Cyclone Larry came through. 3 years on and you can still see the damage not just here but in many areas we drove through looking at all the waterfalls.

We decide to stay at the South Johnstone river campground which is 12.6km off the road down a very windy mountain road. It is one of those places you can only book over the phone which is a crap system. It’s a nice drive and a great little camp on the side of the river with good facilities. We play cards and a very ordinary movie call Cherry 2000. We had to move into the car because the wildlife was harassing us. They jumped on the table and into our tub we wash the dishes in. Although only Bandicoots and possums in the dark it is scary, one nearly ran up my leg.
It was a bit scary last night there were so many animals and large nuts falling on the tin roofs of the shelter it made it hard to sleep. The animals never let up the whole night.
This is a cool spot to camp.
It’s only a 40k odd drive back to Innisfail. It is good to be back in a room and after a bit of a rest we unload the car.
