Day 95 July 17 2012 - Kurrimine Beach

Went for a drive today down to Etty Bay, Mourilyan Harbour and Cowley Beach.  We are right in the middle of a big sugar cane and banana growing area.  Everywhere you look there is sugar cane growing.  There wasn't much at Etty Bay just a caravan park and a really nice beach.  At  Mourilyan Harbour there is an on-shore sugar and molasses handling and storage facility, and a single sugar loader situated within the natural harbour.  The sugar comes from South Johnstone, Mourilyan, Tully and Babinda,  There was a catamaran at the harbour with quite a lot of damage to one side, we wondered whether it may have been done during the cyclone.  At Cowley Beach there wasn't much except once again a caravan park, the beach didn't look as nice as some we have seen.
