Went for a drive down to Bingle Bay this morning, there is a caravan park there that is run by the council. It is very small and I don't think we would get our van in. After this Betty, Graham and myself did a walk up Bicton Hill. It was a steep walk and was about a 5 km return journey and quite strenuous at times but the view from the top was well worth it. On our way up we disturbed a big goanna - about 2ft long, it frightened the life out of Betty as it scurried into the bush right in front of her. There were some amazing ferns in the rain forest and damage from cyclone Yasi was very evident. Also in Mission Beach itself there are a lot of damaged buildings where repairs are being carried out. Apparently the resort on Dunk Island has still not re-opened, we are hoping to go over there one day this week. We went for a sun downer with David and Betty to South Mission Beach - quite cheap they had Corona's 2 for 1 between 4 and 6pm.
