We staeted on Tuesday, October 7th. Driving to Byron Bay for the views. Then on to Hervey Bay where we spent the night. A total of 418 miles.
Along the way we passed many cattle, lots of sugar cane. Cane harvesting is active. We are wondering how many crops can be harvested in a years time. There are both narrow guaage trains to haul the canr.
Next night, Octiber 8th, W4's birthday, we were in Sarina. 437 miles covered. We first stopped at a pub where a helpful bartender gave us a list of hotels/motels. We were able to call while sipping wine. Also had dinner of shrimp and lamb shank. Then on to the Tramway motel.
October 9th we made our way only 364 miles to Ingham. Again, we saw huge acerage of sugar cane, increasing tropics with palms, mango, banana, papaya and warmer weather. We found a nice motel with beautiful small garden - plants like Hawaii and wallabies in the field out the back window.
We stopped in Cairns to check out a bead shop. Then drove on to Port Douglas is a beautiful tourist town at the end of a very narrow and winding coastal road.
