Murray Falls, were a surprise. Situated 20 kilometres north of Cardwell and 20 kilomtres off the Bruce Highway. Our overnight stay was a welcome rest stop. There was a beautifull swimming hole downstream from the falls. The sound of the falls during the night was very soothing. We were fortunate to travel through this area in fine weather. It had been several months since three consecutive fine days were experienced.















Bramston beach was an area that Ted grew up in. His parents owned a beach house here from 1959 until recently. This shot shows the full beach from "Pinchgut" creek in the south to the next headland, a distance of about 11 kilometres. Cyclone Larry had created havoc with the vegetation.









Fishery Falls. Susan cannot help herself if she sees a set of falls and these were no exception. This set are just off the Bruce Highway at Fishery Falls. While I had lived no more than 15 kilometres from them for half of my life it was my first visit. We had this site to ourselves for several hours prior to lunch.




















The Golden Hole in the Russell River was another pleasant trip. Tropical waters are so clear as they come off Mount Bartle Frere, the highest Mountain in Queensland. The coastal flats north of Ingham have many large rivers and streams of crystal clear water. All waterways are at a good height at this time due to the prolonged wet season.
