Monday 27th February
Today's route took us south to the Atherton Tableland. Our first stop was  Lyons Lookout which gave us a distant view of Cape Tribulation, which we visited yesterday.


Further along there appeared to be many large boulders by the side of the road but these turned out to be giant ant hills. We did not go any closer to investigate them.


We drove into Mount Hypipamee National Park to see The Crater, a flooded volcanic pipe with a drop of 58 metres to the surface of the water.


Further along the same path we came to Dinner Falls, a series of four falls, this one being the most impressive.


We took a side road to some more falls. This one is Millaa Millaa Falls and soon after we took this photo a group of about fifteen young people arrived and swam underneath it.


By this time it was raining very heavily and we didn't stay long at The Zillie Falls, just enough time to take this photo.


We stopped at the Mungalli Rapids but it was raining too heavily to contemplate walking the thirty five minute route to the falls.

We are looking forward to flying out to the Barrier Reef tomorrow - weather permitting.
