Day 257 - Turtles!


  • Mission Beach – Cairns
  • 142kms
  • 24°c 

On the road again, heading North to Cairns, today we passed roadworks!, Sugarcane and banana trees. 


Some on the road investigation led us to a caravan park about 10kms from the centre of town as we were not going to pay $64 a night for a site! We set up camp and a friendly lady advised that the turtles and fish were at the creek so we made our way down to see hundreds of fish and at least a dozen turtles in the freshwater lagoon. The fish were too fast for the turtles taking the bread before they had a chance, Ella & Occy raced back to the van to get some bread and managed to feed the turtles and quite a few fish as well.  



We headed into the Pier Precinct for some Wood Fired pizza only to discover it was no longer there, but the park opposite was an interesting sight; a stage setup looking a lot like a concert until closer inspection revealed a mass aerobics class going on! We found a little Pizzeria further down the road and enjoyed some yummy food before heading home in time for Steve to watch his mighty Pies!
