Camping with Maree

 

In winter of 1996, Maree and I took the Holden panel van to places in "outback" Queensland and the Northern Territory, as well as the Queensland coast near Cape Tribulation.

Hanging fig trees are huge and magnificent.

 

 

This is the 'surface expression' of a lava tube, but underneath...

 

Underneath, the lava tubes are dramatic

 

 

 

 

The countryside is full of beautiful old farm buildings....

 

 

 

 

 

In those days, we always had camping sites to ourselves.... not a grey nomad in sight!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And many amazing landscapes

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And when we reached the coast.... not a person in sight....

Those were the days.....  (sigh....)

 

Evening falls....  on many fascinating lost stories.....

 

 

Beaches, with their overhanging rainforest trees....

 

And mangroves....

 

 

 

 

 

Warm weather...  no-one else around within miles and miles....  paradise!
