Another glorious day starting out from Ingham Trailer Park. The original intention was to head out of town, going north but last night I met and talked for a long time to 3 young Swiss guys, one with girlfriend. They had travelled across from Tenant Creek, as well as through large parts along the North Queensland Coast. They highly recommended that I schould visit "Wallaman Falls", about 50km west of Ingham. As a result, my first trip this morning took me to that destination. The road to get there is mostly sealed but there are two sections of dirt that need to be negotiated with a little more care as well as reduced speed. There is also quite a climb up on a very winding road with many steep curves etc.
I can say, it was well worth the effort, the waterfall nothing short of spectacular, dropping over 260m down a gigantic rockface. It was a good idea to go in the morning as the whole scenery was lit up by the morning sun, bringing out a whole array of colour of the surrounding rockface. No people, just the sound of nature - wow!
Simply S.P.E.C.T.A.C.U.L.A.RThe return trip took me back down the mountain, through Ingham and from there, going north, all the way to Mission Beach. I have checked into the local council trailer park, right on the beach. It does not get much better than that.
