56 Cardwell

An easy trip from Ingham through to Cardwell. The scenery was absolutely beautiful; we stopped at the lookout at the top of the range which looks out to Hinchinbrook Island really lovely. A complete new section of highway with the lookout incorporated into it.

 

Arriving at Cardwell the GPS said turn right for the caravan park….. Yer right!!!!

We would have ended up in the ocean as food for the crocs if we listened to that thing.

As under the jetty is a big croc called Bruiser who has already taken 6 dogs off the beach!!!

Turning left was the way to go, all set up at the park we walked the couple of blocks to the Information centre.

It was really interesting, informative information contained within.

Lots of history in the Rainforest and Reef centre.

The door has hand carved handles really beautiful.

All created and carved by hand also hand painted, a fantastic job by whoever worked on it.

 

Cardwell is a delightful town not very big but looks lovely and would be a wonderful place to live.

The builder had to have a cage built around him to protect him from the crocodiles while building these steps though we have not seen any yet……
