Hi. I am planning my three night camping trip to Speewah Camping Ground. I am starting off at Kuranda in the town.
As my name says, I walk on foot, and that is my only way to go from Kuranda, Here is the main places I will walk..
Get a bus to Kuranda from Cairns City - I can get a $4 one way bus ticket there. Stop off for any supplies I have forgotten or think of.
Walk by the side of Barron Falls Road..yeah not relaxing or pretty .... yet
then walk to Wrights Lookout
then on the McDonalds Track - a 4wd track
until at Red Bluff
then onto the Douglas Track
and then the Djina-wu track
to reach the Speewah campground.
Here is a map of the area with my planned journey shown in red.
I will then stay at the camping ground for three nights. I am local to the area, and want to get into some nature time and just do things without stress and all the mundane stuff. I work my own hours as an artist and musician, so I can go quite freely.
I'll report on my journey with photos and such once I return. I have never been on the walks here, I used to live in the Blue Mountains, so I am used to hills, and can handle a bit of the cool weather and rain. I also grew up in Turramurra on the North Shore in NSW, so again, I am used to hills.
If anyone does know of the approximate journey time going on the map, and my trail, then please let me know! Also any other factors to take into consideration, such as the campsite fee, permit etc..water...
Blessings
Samantha
