Katrina's week 3 summary and photos :)

---

So week 3 has passed, sorry for the delay in posting but have been busy with holiday activities and then with less internet access than intended.

Sunday 7th August found us relaxing at Rollingstone Beach, 50kms north of Townsville.....a lovely beach weekend away from town. Monday on another 70kms or so to the national park campground at Jourama Falls in Paluma Range NP. No power than night but all went well and the falls and rockpools were pretty.

Tues and Wed were spent at the beautiful South Mission Beach.....would definitly go there again and would have loved to stay longer.

Thursday we were on to Cairns with a stop to visit Paronella Park on the way (Mena Creek). 4 nights in Cairns with activities galore - Kuranda scenic Railway and Skyrail, a day in town with another foreshore lagoon and water play park, and a day trip to Port Douglas and the Daintree River Ferry and Cape Tribulation.

And that was week 3! Still having a great time!!
