Saturday morning and Townsville is very deserted. We searched a while for a fuel station and then headed north until Ingham. There we detoured towards the west to the Wallaman Falls, the highest single-drop waterfall of Australia. So we thought we should see it but we did not know that it was such a steep and winding road. And a few kilometres of the road are not sealed... But we made it within one hour and had a fantastic view around the area although the waterfall was a bit low on water.
In this area there are wild cassowaries, another endangered species but we did not see any.
Back on the Captain Cook Highway we pasted Cairns and drove along the coast which was beautiful. At a lookout we had another fantastic view of the area.
One hour north of Cairns we arrived at our next backpacker hotel, the Parrotfish Lodge. Unfortunately the supermarkets were all closed already, so we could not buy stuff for a BBQ :-( So we had Pasta instead... again... Anyway, tomorrow we are going on an explorer self-drive tour to our next stop: the Daintree Forest National Park!
Yours waterfall-watching Stefanie
