From Wallaman Falls we revisited Mission Beach, a tiny tropical town. We stayed at the council campground again and the man that ran it recognized us. It was pretty full but he worked to find us a spot. It was quite a nice feeling to be welcomed back by someone to a place we knew already, after newness everyday for months. We stayed for 4 or 5 nights, meeting the neighbours around us who'd been living there for several months each. It rained a lot, but we got out to see the sights of the area, visiting more waterfalls and freshwater swimming holes. We got back to one of our favourites: Aligator's Nest, a place you need to ask the locals about to find. This time the road was flooded up to the knees before the park. We parked, waded across and walked to the swimming spot. It was much deeper but just as wonderful to swim in. On the way back the girls had a swim on the road!
The turkey you see above is a brush turkey. They're very common in Queensland and I had to include a picture of this comical bird. They always look shocked and amazed.
