very peaceful.

The resident Cassowary took a liking to our bull bar; it could see its reflection, maybe thought it was another cassowary.
We then drove through Innisfail, intending to find Josephine Falls, but Rick saw a sign pointing west to Millaa Millaa, (which means wet wet, we were told) so up the mountains on the Palmerston Highway we go. Not as twisty and turny as some of the roads we have been on, but it had some quite steep grades.
We spent the night at the Millaa Millaa caravan park; next morning we headed to Malanda. There are a lot of things to see on the Tablelands, one of which is the Curtain Fig, pictured below.
Rick and me at the Malanda Falls.
We felt on top of the world up here; the views are beautiful.
We decided to visit the Nerada Tea plantation, which is reached by taking a roller coaster road from the highway. The next 2 photos are views of this road.
The next photo shows part of the tea processing at Nerada. This was very interesting. Click on the link to find out more.... http://www.neradatea.com.au/
This is the view from the Nerada visitor's centre; Queensland's highest mountain, Bartle Frere in the background, with tea bushes the slightly raised bright green centre area, and an old harvesting machine in the foreground.
After our busy morning, devonshire tea was too tempting to pass up.
On the road again, we came across a dairy farm with a shop and cafe, so of course we had to investigate. Glad we did; their home made cheeses were delicious, served with some warm crusty bread. Yum! A return visit is in order. We love our food, as you have probably guessed by now. LOL
