sexual harrassment panda I see a red door and I want to paint it black Donating Members 5,919 Member For: 14y 6m 1d Gender: Male Location: Far north queensland Posted 03/08/11 08:18 PM Share Posted 03/08/11 08:18 PM looks like a good route, I'll be flying into cairns around 9pm the night before after a stint in Mt Isa. Nice long drive with a fair few twisty sections. Fruit bat was a good meeting spot the last time I went on a cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would welcome other's opinion on this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A stop off at the curtain fig would be a 5 min detour if you wanted a few piccies. Cheeky beer at the marina at port douglas on the way home. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So like the idea of a photo opp near the Fig Curtain at Yungaburra and a beer and lunch on the Marina at Port Douglas. Then a leisurely drive home along the coast. Looks like we have 3 definites so far. Phantom mate, would love to visit the back roads, but we may get there too early in the day for you.

The route doesn't go up that range but goes up the gillies range which is near gordanvale. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
