DAVIE'S CREEK NP AND TINAROO
Still day 2:
After Mossman George, we were lucky enough to be able to visit Skybury Coffee plantation (which closed down the day after we were there). Unbeliavalbe that such beautiful pace would close down. I'll let the pictures speak for themselves:

If I lived close enough to a place like this, I would drink my coffee there every morning.
Day 3:
Managed to find a free camping site outside Mareebe, which unfortunately was full of mozzies and to avoid getting eaten, we had to spend most of the time in the van.
Also did a stop at Golden drop Mango winery and indulged in some mango wine tasting. However, those pictures are on dad's phone so can't show you. Can only say it tasted very good!
Continued to Davie's Creek national park. Went for a short little walk and swam in the beautiful and refreshing creek:
After we finished the walk, which inclided a steep incline to the very top, we were quite tired and very happy when we arrived to our next campsite: Lake Tinaroo Waterfront (Nationalpark)
Dad in his antique bathers, which I forced him to in before the end of this trip!
Davies creek
We camped just meters from this wonderful creek. Shared a bottle of mangowine for dinner and woke early to give ourself enough time to walk the 5km to the start of the summit (required a 4WD), the 8km walk and the 5km back in the steaming hot sun.
Again, all the photos from that track is on dad's camera so will have to upload some later.

In which no crocodils or stingers live, so I took my chance to do some triathlon training for upcoming race.

Day 4 is to be continued.
Just to catch up with whats going on here. I sold my car. In less than 24 hrs after posting it on car sales, I saw it leaving my drive way in a very sentimental stage. Selling the car was really the point of no return. Its like all of a sudden I've realized I am ACTUALLY moving home. And all those mixed emotions of sadness, happyness, excitement and worry are floating around. Just to mention. I think if my science career completely failes, I should become a salesman. I sold my Miss Mazda for the same price I bought it for 8 months ago. BAM!
