Sept29 Saturday- After a quick morning briefing we hit the road to Townville a 4 hr drive and 141 miles. We see lots of caution Cassowary signs but do not see any. They are rare and very shy.
Sept28 Friday Mission Bay-Our road trip begins today. A bus picks up all the drivers and takes them to Maui rentals. www.maui.com.au pictures of the rigs etc. Ours looked brand new . We must have been maybe the second renters as some of the dishes and utensils were still in plastic. First we go to Coles a grocery store to stock up. We continue down the road passing sugar cane, papaya, mango and banana fields. We do a side trip to Josephine Falls get out and stretch our legsand hike 700km. A pleasant hike in the rainforest to the falls. So far we see lots of road kill, instead of deer it is wallabies. After the short 3 hr. drive we are in Mission Beach where we stay at the Hideaway Holiday Village.It is a very short block to the beach. After we put the groceries away and empty our suitcases we hike to the picturesque beach, then over to town. The village has numerous cafes, art galleries and shops. I try to log in with their WIFI but have no luck. Will try tomorrow
