INNISFAIL

After leaving Ravenshoe this morning we travelled east down off of the Atherton Plateau, which was very steep decent in places through tropical rainforest and tea, banana and cane plantations to a nice grassed roadside stop just 4kms north of Innisfail which is at the junction of the Palmerson and Bruce highways. At this spot there are some kind of tropical tree with these large red flowers(photo), and they look great when in flowering. We intend to spend the next couple nights at a camp-site near Japoonvale which we stayed at on the way north from Tully last month and liked very much. Monday we intend to return to Tully to do some more voluntary work for BlazeAid.
