Today was a bit quieter for us. Drove a short distance to a lovely new wetlands area called "Catana", about 20km north of Cairns, and then on to the Beach & headland known as Yorkey's Knob.
The Catana area was previously a sand? mining area, and quite degraded, until the local council & other government bodies redeveloped the very large piece of land into a sizeable lake, with many tree & shrub plantings, lovely walkways, including a boardwalk through rainforest vegetation, and good signposting & information displays.
It took us about an hour to walk around the track, taking a few photos as we went. A nice feature are the bird "hides", where you can observe & photograph the wildlife on the lake without disturbing them. If I had a good camera, the pictures would appear here. I'll upload what I've got shortly.
Flying home tomorrow!
