AN EARLY START
We were hoping for some great sunrise photography but were frustrated by a clear sky and ground mist. We were anticipating a fairly demanding and a little uncertain day of travel.
ALONG AND OVER THE RANGE
Our start on the Gregory Development Road (north) and the Hervey Range Road (east towards Townsville) was sealed and quite uneventful. After 40 kms along the Hervey Range Road we turned off on a minor road to Hidden Valley, Mount Fox and eventually Wallaman Falls - our destination.
Initially this was a sealed road for beef industry transport, but later became a tortuous unsealed road following and eventually crossing the range
Hervey Range Road
The "beef" road.
Onward via Hidden Valley.
After Mt Fox we descended on a narrow sealed road to the coastal plains and sugar cane farms before climbing again to Wallaman Falls.
WALLAMAN FALLS
Australia's highest permanent waterfall.
Our campsite at Wallaman Falls - shared with 30 or so others - but grass underfoot and just enough space to not feel too crowded.
