Woke up, packed up and got back on the road. About ten minutes down the road we came to a sign saying “Millstream Falls”. I had a look on the map and it said that they were the widest falls in Australia, so we decided to have a look. We found a park and headed off along the walking track. A school bus had pulled up not long before us, so the viewing platform was choc-full of kids. We waited until they were finished and then had a look at the falls. They were really beautiful, with a very wide area of the creek flowing over the rocks. We took a few photos and made our way back to the car.
The road through to Atherton was a very picturesque drive through the mountains, although it was very hilly and wound through the hills. We found that Lake Tinaroo was nearby, and after looking at the QLD accommodation guide decided to stay Yungaburra Caravan Park on the edge of the lake. The boys had a taste of fishing and that’s what they wanted to do.
The caravan park was lovely and green, and the green lawns went right down to the edge of the lake. Darren and I set up the camp, while the boys grabbed their rods and headed to the waters’ edge. They fished for a while and then had a quick swim while we were watching. Then Mitch decided t stay and fish while Darren, Thomas and I went into town to do some shopping and get some bait. Thomas found some magazines about “hot” Utes on special, and decided to buy them to read.
When we got back to the park, we all went down to the lake with Mitch. I read a magazine and did a crossword, while Thomas read his magazines and fished. Darren and Mitchell changed their rods from lures to hooks, and we all relaxed for a couple of hours. Darren and Thomas both caught small cod, and Mitch caught a Sooty Grunter.
When it started to get cold, we went back to the van for tea, and then all had showers before bed. It was a bit of a novelty having tv, so we watched a bit of that too!
