Queensland Coast & Atherton Tablelands

After leaving the Gemfields I headed north on the Inland Way to Charter Towers. From there I went east to Townsville, where I got some books at a cool used bookstore and ate some Malaysian food.

Next I went up the coast to find a nice beach near rainforest. I stayed in Mission Beach, a beautiful quiet little town, surrounded by jungle and National Parks. I saw no one on the beach except a fisherman.

I headed inland next to visit a friend on the Atherton Tablelands. This area is where they grow lots of sugarcane, bananas and other assorted tropical fruit and produce.

My friend took me on a tour and we saw some amazing sites including huge trees and other natural wonders.
