The caravan park at Rollingstone has beach frontage but also signs warning that swimming is not permitted because of crocodiles - at the moment while the weather is in the mid 20s there is no need to have a swim to cool off, but it must be frustrating in the middle of summer heat having a beautiful beach that you can’t use.
We made an overnight stop here partly so that we could have a meal at the highly recommended nearby Fisherman's Wharf, famous for their fish and chips. We had been told by several people that the cafe served the best f&c ever with a beautiful setting.
The journey here was nearly 500 km and for 75% of that time we were driving through an unbroken landscape of sugar cane plantings, the countryside crisscrossed with train lines used to move the cut cane and every now and then the chimneys of a sugar mill. We passed by Bowen, famous for its mangos, some vegetables growing in that area and now its more cane and pineapples.
Tomorrow we pack up for the relatively short drive to Cairns... H invited me to add a word or 2, so I stepped back & took the photo.You will understand when I say it’s a hell of a life!

But were the fish and chips as good as people said? currently tossing up between f&c or indian takeaway for dinner. Went up to the supermarket to buy stuff for dinner but when I got to the checkout realised I didn't have my purse.
