15 October2008 Granite Gorge (M&J) Cairns (S&C)


M&J......Went to Herberton today. First stop Atherton, didn’t see much through here but did stop off at the bakery for their award winning bread (have you noticed a theme with the food in the trip – it is a comparison of bakeries on the way down – when we get into wine country it will be wineries!!) This is a small mining town that has retained a lot of its original character Walked the streets, visited the mining museum, had lunch using the bread that we bought and grabbed some local homemade sausages from the butchers for tea. After that went to the crater – had to drive through a big bush fire (apparently it was the biggest that they had had for years). The crater is amazing and worth the trip. Went home via the Lake Tinaroo. Needed to check it out incase we wanted to stay next time we were in the area


S&C.......
