18 September 2010 Granite Gorge Caravan Park







Herberton on the Atherton Tablelands




Waiting in traffic for the roadworks....


The hot air balloons


Not a bush trkey a real turkey it woke us each morning at 5.30!!


Cardie weather.....

Left Richmond and on to Charters Towers. Found a lovely caravan park Dalrymple Caravan Park - it was good for us as it had a great camp kitchen with a TV which can be a treat. Just stayed the night as we wanted to visit Undarra Lava Tubes, but unfortunatly the Kennedy Development Road was mostly under construction and a 3 hour trip ended up taking over 5 and 1/2 hours. By the time we got to Undarra there wasn't any room for us and it was too late to do a tour. Decided to move on as we can always do this another time especially when we live in Cairns

We went on the Granite Gorge Caravan Park (near Mareeba) again, nice to be somewhere familiar. Got woken up the next morning by a loud dragging noise ha t get up to investigate, it was a hot air ballooon that had just landed in the park near us taking off. See photos!!! We were haing conversations with the passengers!!

We also had a day at Herberton - visited their hitoric village - we will be back as they are still finishing off exhibitions
