Day 194 – 29
th August 2011
School Point Campsite, Danbulla National Park, QLD
On our way to Yungaburra we stopped at the Curtain Fig Tree – a massive tree with a curtain of roots that drop 15 metres to the ground. In town we looked for platypus from the platform and afterwards on a walk along Peterson Creek – Andrew was lucky and saw one whereas Nele kept thinking she saw one but each time it turned out to be a turtle. She also spotted a snake and a lizard. Afterwards we had a walk through this charming little town with quite a few heritage-listed buildings. We continued on to Malanda where we had a look at the Malanda Falls and took a walk through the conservation park to try our luck at spotting a tree kangaroo – no luck. A visit to the dairy centre is a must as Malanda has one of the world’s largest dairy factories. After lunch we drove to Lake Eacham and Lake Barrine, 2 crater lakes nestled among rainforest. Late afternoon we took the scenic drive into Danbulla State Forest, where after a quick look at the Cathedral Fig Tree and Lake Euramoo, we set up camp for the night at one of the many camping grounds along Lake Tinaroo.
