Day 6 - Townsville - Cairns

Today was a traveling day. We made the 4 hour trek from Townsville to Cairns along the Bruce Hwy with a lunch stop in Ingham and a detour to Lumholtz National Park for a short walk and viewing of these spectacular falls.

Frill Neck Lizard

Stick bug found at Wallaman Falls in the Lumholtz National Park (see left). These spectacular falls are 305 meters (1191 ft) high with a 20 meter (78 ft) deep pool below.

Frill Neck Lizard lay on his gizzard,
asleep in the shade of a rock.
Raised up his frill at a tourist from Nhill,
who promptly collapsed from the shock.

If We Had More Time....
There were signs to an attraction "Paronella - The Dream Continues" near Innisfail that seemed quite interesting. http://www.paronellapark.com.au
