An amazing assortment of Queensland environments today! From Mt. Garnet to Ravenshoe - woods dotted with sometimes huge termite mounds, quite a sight. Then on to Atherton through a national park and forest; through mountains with tight twisty roads & tunnels of trees - just beautiful. On to Port Douglas through farms, cattle ranches and woods - thru another set of mountains near the end. From Port Douglas to Cairns was the most amazing coast ride I have ever run - 25 miles huging the rocky/beachy Pacific coast where the Great Barrier Reef lay just beyond (pic). Then thru Cairns itself - city. Now on to Innisfail thru a long valley with a really tall mountain chain (5,287 ft) just barely to the west (crests thru the clouds!) and another smaller set of mountains between me and the coast. All that with pure sun & a few fluffy clouds with a comfortable 30C, what a ride!!
