After last Sunday's drive south to Mission Beach, we decided yesterday to take a different route up north via the tablelands which lie to the west of where we live.
The tablelands is a very different landscape to the coast, but rest assured there is still masses of sugar cane! We even spied out of the car window it being slashed.
The road and landscape, minus the sugar cane, makes you realise that you honestly could be anywhere along the east coast of Australia.
This roads leads up north to Cooktown and also across the 'Top End' of Australia. There are road signs on the road warning of 'Road Trains' - trucks carrying in excess of two or more trailers. We were passed on the other side of the road by two B-Double trucks.
The road heading back down the 'Molloy Range', the scenery changes very dramatically. It is lush and green and the road recently has been blocked off by many landslides.
I think in the photo below, the lush green covering on the hillside is actually a weed. Still, I thought it looked lovely.
The road leads you to an intersection between Port Douglas and Mossman. We headed into Mossman, but I'll blog about that next time... ;-P
