Up on the Tableland

Another beautiful day so we decided on a drive up on the Atherton Tablelands. We headed around Cairns, stopping for some "unloved caches" along the way...with mixed success...to Gordonvale for  a late morning tea. From there it was a twisty, windy climb up the range...great for a MX-5, pity we were in Kia Rio!

At the top we stopped for a while at Crater Lakes before driving on to Peeramon...nothing much there except for a virtual cache and a Pub that doesn't open until 3:00pm on a weekday. From there we pressed on to the Malanda Falls where I had an unfortunate meeting with a Dendrocnide moroides otherwise known as a Stinging Bush...and it does...lots!

Having put a bit of a dampener on the day, we had some afternoon tea in Malanda and headed back to Clifton Beach for a take-away pizza dinner.
