Day 14, Sunday 20th July 2009

Day, 14. Little over a week left in my holidays. Well, the wise old saying says, Time flies when you having fun, but that's not always a good thing if you don't want to go home :P


Anyways, today the plan was that we are renting a car and then going into the nearby... (Unless you take the scenic route... Trust me!) town, named Innisfail where we met a friend of a friend, on behalf of this friend... Long story, they know it, i don't. :P


We drove for ages, on the scenic route of course. We stopped at The Babinda Boulders near Cairns, which had good views. Huge boulders, the sign read "This creek has claimed many lifves"...Jeepers! We didn't climb on the boulders, but the sign doesn't stop others :P


Afterwards we met with this friend of a friend, who is a local and they showed us round a bit.

Took us to the each of a sugar cane field, the Sugar industry is the second biggest in Australia, behind tourism. At this sugar cane field we got to chew on some sugar cane, which, to no surprise was sweet, similar to its product, sugar. Taste sensation! She took us to the banana Fields, which are many and we saw the unripe bananas, which they keep under multi colour bags and to a beach, which is better than Scottish beaches... by far.



Well, we took a long way on the way there, but we took what seemed like a massive journey on the way back, on a twisting road for 19 km, which took time. Still, it was worth the journey, albeit a long one!
