Day 6

[kmusser]

We wake up to the Kookabura's practicing their music. Quite noisy critters. Head back south, stop again at the big tree to show it to Reecy. Stop briefly in Malanda, a dairy town where we have the "the Udder Experience."

After that we make several stops to see some spetacular waterfalls near Milaa Milaa. We lunch at the Mulliken Dairy, which has excellent cheeses - including a cheese called "Quark" which is especially yummy. I have some cheesecake, which I'm sure does not shock anyone :-)

Then it's back towards the coast through more rain. Our next tourist stop is Paronella Park - where the staff kindly comes to the car with umbrellas. The park is the ruins of a castle built by a crazy Spanish guy in the 1920's (they said I was daft to build a castle in the jungle, but I built it anyway) and runs as a sort of amusement park through the early 50's. The castle is great as it looks like it just grew out of the jungle. The park also includes extensive gardens surrounding the castle. Critter sightings here include many flying foxes (giant bats) and fish and turtles.

We stop for a bite to eat in Cardwell on the oceanfront and finally make it back to Townsville late this evening.

Quark?

So if Quark is yummy, is it the tops? Or does its strangeness or charm make it some other definition?
