Hi all,
I'd love some tips for our upcoming road trip starting in Townsville and camping our way up to Cairns via Mission Beach, back through Atherton Tablelands to Innisfail and back to Townsville (only 8 days).
We travel on a tight budget so we're camping where possible and using backpackers hostels otherwise. We're the sight seeing, nature, bush walking, camping type rather than hotel and organised activity types (if that makes sense).
Magnetic Island: (discounting Mt Cook and the west coast) can we comfortably walk the entire east coast of the island starting with the Nelly Bay to Arcadia track in a day return?
Any other tips based on our rough route below?
Night 1: Townsville
Night 2: Big Crystal Creek
Night 3: Mission Beach (via Paluma Falls)
Night 4: Cairns
Night 5: Cairns
Night 6: Tully Gorge NP
Night 7: Wallerman Falls
Night 8: Wallerman Falls
Night 9: Townsville
All advice appreciated!
Cheers,
Ben.
