It was with great reluctance that we left Paronella Park and
headed back towards the highway. Travelling this busy road we were soon passing
Tully and then a detour to Hull Heads just to check it out. Back on the highway
again it was an easy trip to the Bilyana rest area for a late-ish lunch stop.
Upon investigation we found a really great spot tucked in behind the trees so
the decision was made to stay overnight.
Refreshed after a peaceful night’s sleep it was back on the
road for the short trip through Kennedy and on to Cardwell where we took time
out to view the memorial to the battle of the Coral Sea. We suspected that the
roadwork we had encountered on the trip north would still be happening, and we
were quite right. There were extensive hold-ups from Cardwell town, over the
Cardwell range and several other places before reaching Ingham. Our lunch break
in Ingham was extended to take in the boardwalk over the beautiful parkland and
a stroll through the Tyto wetlands, and then some shopping to top up the
provisions. The long weekend starts tomorrow and we didn’t want to run short of
supplies. From Ingham it is only around 50Km to the Bushy Parker Reserve at
Rollingstone where we were to stay for the weekend.
