Friday 11th June

We pulled out of the Caravan Park at 8.30 with Tom Tom set for Cairns about 5 hours away with some stops, that should get us there at about 2 pm.
Stopping at Cardwell for our morning coffee we could see Hinchinbrook Island National Park just across the water. Maybe on our way back down again we might stop off here and explore it all a bit more.

One of the numerous cane fields we passed  on our drive  north, along with the banana plantations that started around Innisfail

There is so much to see and do you could spend years travelling around Australia and still not see it all.
With a slightly overcast sky,  a nice 23 deg and a just a few rain drops it made it quite pleasant to drive.
We drove on up the Bruce Highway through Tully and on to Innisfail and then into Cairns at about 2.30pm.
We chose our camp site and set up for a stay of probably a couple of weeks.
