82 - Mil Stream Falls, Windy Hill, Undara

How long are we going to be in Mackay....who knows.

Contracted for three months, from early October, if we see the three months out, is any bodies guess. At the time of writing this blog, the Val is still in the workshop, for brakes etc., and the RetroLiner, may not be even looked at till mid November.

Now until something exciting happens here, I will not have much to post, so I am going to add some pikkies that I forgot I had, about Mill Stream Falls near Ravenshoe, The Wind Farm also near Ravenshoe & a little more on Undara.

So enjoy boyz and girlz

If you like waterfalls this is a nice one.

The bride had to get in this pikkie for a pose

The wind farm at Windy hill was always windy. Reminded me of the south coast of NSW, however a subtle difference here, Windy Hill was most of the time we came through this area on our way from Undara to Cairns was always misty, drizzly and cold. So these photos were taken on a very rare clear day.

Wind generated turbines.....bloody huge and noisy

The wind farm

As in a few posts back, 66/67/68 we spent five months at Undara Lava Toooooobes. An interesting experience, however the culture of bullying and intimidation was disappointing during our time there. Here are a couple of piikies of the bride this time at work.

Now how do you start this friggggg'n thing

See Ya...I'm off to clean more train carriages

I remember visiting Millstream falls before the bitumen track was constructed - in those days you could go down the bottom! BUT ... it's still a beaut spot, isn't it?!?!

Happy travels!!

Hi there Red Nomad Oz

Nice little spot alright, and the bitumen path made the walk a lot nicer alright.

Thanks for your input and happy travels.

Cheers & beers
