O’Reilly’s Rainforest Retreat – QLD
From our camp in Canungra we drove 29kms to O’Reilly’s Rainforest Retreat in Lamington National Park. There is heaps to do at O’Reilly’s, bird feeding, a short treetop walk with suspension bridges, a climbing tower, gardens, the Stinson Plane replica
Austinville rock-pools – QLD
These rockpools on the Gold Coast can be tricky to find, they are located at 672 Austinville Rd, Austinville, QLD. There is a small carpark for around 6 cars, then a 100m walk up the road to a steep set
Protester Falls – Northern NSW
Located in the Nightcap National Park, this easy 1.4km return walk to the falls was so beautiful, so green! You don’t need a 4×4 to get there but the road in was SO bumpy and full of potholes after heavy
Cardwell – QLD – Lunch stopover
A great break stop between Mission Beach and Townsville is a little town called Cardwell. It’s where the main road goes right up to the ocean, there are long van parking bays on the ocean side, and truck parking as
Hartley’s Crocodile adventures – North QLD
Hartley’s was a surprisingly good day out, we’ve been to plenty of wildlife parks and this one does it very well. We started with a cruise on the lagoon for a crocodile talk and feeding, they did a snake show

Mount Alexandra Lookout – Daintree – QLD
This lookout is one of the first lookouts in the Daintree, you can drive right to it and is a great place to catch the sunrise. https://youtu.be/fbZ_TtbUW80
Emmagen Creek – Daintree – QLD
There is a croc-free swimming hole right where the Bloomfield track starts called Emmagen Creek. There’s a dirt road to this area, but in good condition, not 4×4. Once you park, go left up the creek and follow the track
Myall beach – Cape Tribulation – Daintree – QLD
We found a playground and a shop for ice creams in Cape Trib. We then spent the afternoon on the fluffiest white sand at Myall beach, beautiful! The water was so inviting, but snappy snappy & stingy sting could be
