Water falling

Yesterday's post wouldn't let me add the following photos in the correct place so here is what we faced as we drove into the Atherton Tablelands 

and the van after a lot of dirt and a bit of rain 

3/7/16

Washing done and on the line but not looking like it's going to dry as we're getting light spitting every now and then. We head off to do the waterfall trail from Milaa Milaa regardless.

First stop Malanda and a look through the historic museum, then onto the falls at Malanda

The 1967 flood must have been devastating, as the photo below was taken from ground level about 50m from the shelter

Pity it wasn't a hot sunny day or this
would have been lovely to swim in

On to Milaa Milaa and the waterfall circuit. The rain was more constant here in the rainforest area so difficult to get photos through the windscreen but the scenery is just beautiful, such an interesting area. The Nerada Tea plantation, dairy products, chocolate making, arts & crafts and nature walks are all a part of the attraction here.

 A couple of views through the windscreen that didn't focus on the raindrops on the windscreen!

Milaa Milaa Falls

Could only get a photo from the top of Zillie Falls as the track down to the bottom was steep and muddy 

Interesting fungi on a tree trunk at the beginning 

of the walk down to the bottom of Zillie Falls

Ellinjaa Falls

Lots of Dairy Cattle in the fields

 Not so much rain on our return to Atherton but it's cooled down a lot, such a change from the 34degree heat of last week.
