Millaa Millaa - Paranella Park - Lucinda

We love the countryside around Millaa Millaa and all it's beautiful waterfalls.
Paranella Park is fantastic.  We did a day and night tour and wandered around both yesterday and this morning. Jose Paranella, who was a pastry cook by trade built this incredible park in the early 1900's. He was a visionary.
Now Mark Evans the owner has a dream to return it as much as possible to it's original glory.  Watch Gardening Australia, ABC, next Saturday 31/8 at 6.30.  Paranella Park is on.
We are now in Lucinda slowly working our way home:(
Milla Milla Falls - what a change to the landscape we have been through the last few weeks!!

  1. You are well and truly on the home run now. Where to next? When are you planning to be home?

  2. Well actually we don't want to hurry home. It is all a bit sad it is coming to an end. We are staying a few days in Bowen - beautiful spot. We definitely stayed at the wrong end of town when we had an overnighter on the way to the Cape but we were just passing through. We will be home the week leading up to the election as we will be heading off the following Thursday for Byron Bay for our niece's wedding and we have a bit of cleaning out to do!!
