Day 23 - Paluma to Granite Gorge

The drive from Paluma to Ingham was just spectacular. We saw stands of trees that looked quite mature so we assumed they had escaped the loggers’ axes. The roads were unsealed and there were few sign posts. We did ask a local for directions at one point and he finished by saying with a grin “Don’t get lost now!”


When we reached the coast we had rain all the way to Atherton. We checked with the Granite Gorge Campsite who reported dry weather. Sure enough as we turned off from the Mareeba road we started to see dust behind the car. We never thought we would be pleased to see dust. The camp site is beautifully secluded and apart from some young people playing music it was quiet.
