Here Comes The Sun

June 2 - 13:  Saturday we ventured to Herberton and checked out the Crater and Dinner Falls & town surrounds.  The weather was still overcast, but on Sunday...the sun came out.  And stayed out!  We went to Tolga markets (just past Atherton) and then Malanda Falls.

Monday it was back to Malanda to shoot some footage and interview the mechanic, Vince Seres for a short docomentary film.   He's 95 and still goes in everyday to potter around.  His eyesight is no good, but he  knows where everything is.
Tuesday we went down towards Innisfail, through Sth Johnson to "Paronella Park" at Mena.  It's not cheap, but an amazing property built "for the people" by a Spanish man with castle-like buildings (originnally restaurant, balllroom, displays), steep staircases and rainforest grounds.
Afterwards, we had lunch at the Mena pub, parking outside a cute old church.

 The rest of the week we got some practical stuff done: new tracky dacks and flanno for me and a big dongle so I can do me bloggin when I choose!
Also popped into the Eacham Historical Society to pick up some photos for our doco and get a bit more history on Seres Motors, Vince's business.

This week, we've been hanging out in Millaa and on the property:  haircut for me and staring to clean up Keith, the yard and pack for our departure Friday arvo.
Oh, and Danny got a good look at one of the platypus in the dam next door.



Thanks to Gil for the opportunity (and car!) and farewell to all the furry & feathered friends, especially Fuggles, Budge & Bonnie.  It's been an interesting house sit (4 weeks all up) and we have fallen in love with the area.

So...next week:  we have decided to stick around and do some W.O.O.F.I.N.G. 20mins away, near Malanda.
