Left our lovely camp feeling really good, towards Ravenshoe picked up a lady in distress with her car, she had worked around outback as barmaid, rouseabout etc, had bought 12 acres in beautiful hilly country as her boy was old enough for school. Interesting story there. On to Ravenshoe where placards reminded of Senator Richardsons troubles there early this year. Drove out to see their beautiful rainforest 3 times logged. On to Atherton via Hallaa Hallaa to Malanda. Lovely steep hills with dairy farms and patches of rain forest. Very scenic country. Atherton was a very good shopping centre. Found an ANZ Bank at last. Good Deli for pate and cheese fresh fruit and vegies. Drove on through Mt Malloy up into beautiful ranges then Great Divide road very tantalizing as stretches of bitumen gave way to gravel and appeared again briefly. Pushed on to Palmer River Roadhouse which wasn’t appealing but the road was worse. Interesting décor but we seemed the only customers and ablurions left a lot to be desired. Had chicken and fresh salad for tea and thoroughly enjoyedthe fresh bit, had a look at the strange décor of the pub bit shell corner and Museum.
