MONDAY 15.8 - WEDNESDAY 17.8.2011: Enjoyed Tully Heads so much that we extended the stay. Went fishing each day at Hull Head, but still no keepers! Went for a quick drive through Mission Beach - nice area but the caravan parks were very busy. Madison (we now have a waist and you can almost feel her ribs), continues to enjoy her beach runs and Shayden his ball games.
After reading the sign considered sending Shayden to play on the beach! Naaa, just sorta jokin'!

| ACROSS THE ROAD FROM THE FISHING |
When you drive through the area there is still evidence of the cyclone. There are abandoned houses, windows boarded up, rebuilding of homes and roof tarps everywhere. You look in one direction and there is a perfect vista, then turn round and you see the devastation.

| FISHING AT HULL HEAD |
Imagine miles and miles of sugar cane and bananas and the only shops to be seen are at the caravan park. Then you come across what is the oasis of the Tully Heads Tavern. Great lunch, but we did not have to eat again for another two days - big meal!

Saw our first native cassowary strolling along the side of the road on the way to Mission Beach.
