It’s 8km off the main road to the carpark, it is suitable for caravans and motorhomes, it has a turning … Continue reading Josephine Falls
Babinda Farm Stay
We stayed a couple of nights at the Babinda Rainforest Farm & Alpacas. Absolutely lovely place. Lovely lush green grass, running clear creek, walks, chooks, ducks, alpacas, geese, ulysses butterflies, cassowaries. Very peaceful. The only downside is large horse flies that bite (which may be seasonal) and being in the rainforest particularly near the creek … Continue reading Babinda Farm Stay

Mareeba Bush Stays
After our time in Chillagoe we popped down the range to Kuranda for a few days. We have been to Kuranda 4 times, the first time about 34 yrs ago when we came up from Cairns via the Kuranda Train. Back then the original markets were awesome, unfortunately the current ones are not a scratch … Continue reading Mareeba Bush Stays
Caves, caves, caves
OMG where to start. The caves in the Chillagoe area are amazing. We stopped at Eureka Creek rest area for the night on the way to and from Chillagoe to Mareeba. Nothing fancy about the rest area itself, it’s close to the road and on a corner but does have a creek which was so … Continue reading Caves, caves, caves
