The Waterfall Circuit

We had a cruise around today to the "Waterfall Circuit" which includes, amongst others, Malanda Falls, Milla Milla Falls, Zillie Falls and Ellinjaa Falls.  It's a lovely drive in this part of Queensland, amongst the rolling hills of dark red and chocolate soils, growing everything from wheat, sugar, corn, spuds, avocadoes, beets and every other kind of vegetable that you can think of.  The countryside has real character, with hills and valleys, magnificent rivers and beautiful creeks.  For the Victorians and Gippslanders in particular who are following this blog, the country strongly reminds me of the South Gippsland hills from Mirboo North to Korumburra.  Lovely!!

Today was about the waterfalls, however, so the pics are mainly about this.  There was a cassowary that popped his/her head out of the scrub, so it got snapped too.

I played with the camera settings a bit to give different effects, so hope you enjoy it.

Off to Wonga tomorrow, north of Cairns and in the Daintree - at last.  We will be by the beach, but very close to the forest - the best of both worlds.

Until Wonga, hoo roo.
