Mission Beach and then Josephine Falls

This is a sunrise view from the corner of South Mission Beach where we free camped and a view of Dunk Island.


Mission Beach with its incredibly wide beach. Very spectacular to look at and walk along. Not too many people in the water although the stinger season is over now in late May. There is a slight danger of salt water crocodiles.

This photo is taken at Josephine Falls in the Wooroonooran National Park at the foot of Bartle Frere, which at 1622 metres, the highest mountain in Queensland. Andrew was all set to climb it but the weather changed, with rain, so he had to give up the idea. We moved along and he made do with climbing Walshs Pyramid 922 metres and supposedly the tallest free standing pyramid in the world. In August there is a race held starting from Gordonsvale up the mountain and back down. There were people today practising for that so he had company.


Same pool as above but looking back at Josephine Falls. You can see that we rather like waterfalls and rock pools.
