Day 44 Saturday 24th August A Stunning Drive to Mareeba



Today we drove from Mission Beach, through the impressive scenery of the mountains and on to the Atherton Tablelands. We loved this area last time we visited and we are looking forward to more exploring. As we passed through the small town of Tolga we couldn’t believe our eyes when we saw that the famous Tolga Wood gallery was now a Salvation Army store. Well at least it probably saved us a few dollars as this gallery had some beautiful pieces of work last time we visited. Later we spoke to a lovely couple that were volunteer guides at the Mareeba Tourist Information Centre and were friends of the artists that owned the gallery and they explained that the husband and wife team had decided to retire and were really enjoying their new life. We set up at the Mareeba Country Caravan Park, a very secluded and pretty park, before heading into town to visit the Information Centre to do some planning for the next week.
