Today we left Townsville and headed into the Girrigun National Park where we spent a couple of hours walking through the bush down to Wallaman Waterfall. The tallest waterfall in Australia. It was a bit of a hike, but once we were there, it was worth the effort… only trouble was, we had to come back up which was exhausting on the knees! Jen even went for a little dip in the chilly water while I tried to protect the camera from the constant mist/rain.

On the way up the bush walk, a snake crossed my path…. didn’t manage to get the camera out but googled it and found the sucker below.. A red bellied snake… venomous!!!

Anyway, after we crawled back to the camper we headed to Mission Beach and arrived about 18:00 …. ready for grub and beer…. and kip.

Also, as Australia is in the midst of Lottery Fever, we purchased a ticket for tonight’s record $90 million draw… If we win, we shall be flying home by our Lear Jet.
