| This is Barron Falls, a mere trickle compared to what it's like when it's wet season and you can hardly see it due to the mist, but still awe inspiring |
 |
| You can travel up there by cablecar, road, or scenic railway |
 | |
| It's size is difficult to ascertain in photos, but it's a few kms from one side of the gorge to the other |
 |
| The railway to the left helps show its size |
 |
| It was once used for hydroelectricity and the remnants of the dams can be seen at the top |
 |
| We stayed in Kuranda, also in the Atherton Tablelands, above Cairns in the mountains. It's only a small village and the best way from the campsite to the village was down this railway...'Stand by me' echoed in my head as we did |
 |
| This bird is round a lot of campsites and howls for it's young when they get separated. It's fine in the afternoon, but at 4am.... |
 |
| These are bandicoots |
 |
| With extremeley delicate noses can sniff out crumbs from miles away. They are very cute |
 |
| I was regarded suspiciously as they guarded their chick |
 |
| Looking down into Cairns from the Atherton Tableland |
 |
| Paul didn't miss the rare opportunity of me cooking |
