Hughenden 25/10/12

We have been in Hughenden for a few days.Very hot when we arrived but a cooler breeze yesterday and today.Wedrove yp to Porcupine Gorge yesterday but had to return quicker than planned because of bushfires close to our road.(they have closed the road today).
We are going up to Mt Walker this evening to watch the sunset with a chicken and champagne picnic.
Tomorrow we are heading to Paronella Park near Innisfail to stay the night.It is a 1930s mansion built in the jungle and looks amazing.
The F J Holden Cafe in Hughenden does good coffee

Dingo proof fence was built in the 1930s

Porcupine Gorge was spectacular but an approaching fire forced us to head back

The gorgeous old pub has closed but the dinosaur still hangs around

Grassfire next to road on way back from Gorge

35 ft Comet windmill greets you in Hughenden
Then off to the Lava Tubes at Undara and meet up with Chris and Deb again there.
