Aug 2. Atherton. Early interview and spruik. Waterfalls aplenty starting with Crater (volcanic) and three or four more. Wild river grandeur. Massive trees down everywhere - cyclone. Path padded with leaf litter. Walking delight in cool clear air.
Aug 3 Thur. Innisfail city also ravaged by blasts. Interview and spruik. Could hardly stop demand was so great. Who said Queensland was backward? Most progressive smoking prohibitions. Innisfail art deco dreamtime. Could use a coat of paint but. Left after lunch to Tully for interview and spruik. People gushing over design. Media moments mentioned frequently.
Aug 3 Fri. Left Cardwell early after collecting coconuts. Ingham newspaper 'Herbert River Express' interview and morning spruik. Walked Tyto wetlands. Reeds and 'Osprey Nesting Tree' no nest. Pulled off road in Thuringowa to find splendid stream flowing past big paperbarks. Swam in cool water bathed in sun. No crocs. Then in to Townsville for dinner.
