An out and about touring day. Went to Paluma Range National Park about 60 Km north of Townsville to Little Crystal Creek then to Balgal Beach near Rollingstone for lunch. Visited a couple of other beaches before coming back to town and visiting one of the botanic gardens. --->

Little Crystal Creek Bridge 1
When the road and this bridge were made in 1931 – 1935 it provided work for the unemployed during the Depression. Mostly made by hand. Lovely area with rock pools and waterfalls.
