We had to double back via Mareeba as some of the gulf development roads are still cut from what was an unusually long wet season, but this gave us a chance to catch up with old friends.
There are a lot of abandoned gold mines in the Atherton tablelands but I found this thriving gem – a drive through bakery selling vanilla slice with passion fruit icing ‘eureka’.
Mareeba Rodeo Grounds for some cheap camping – neighbours ate grass around our tent all night.
Our random lunch spot between Chillagoe and Mt Surprise on
roads less travelled.
Illegal prospecting 2012 style – “Now if I slip you ‘make
like a float’ and catch dad”.
