3. This photo and the first one were taken on the road to a famous Dairy, specialising in cheeses and yoghurts. At least, I'm told that that is the case - we were there too early and didn't want to wait 30 minutes until it opened.

9. Rapidly 'disappearing' countryside ahead of the next rain squall.
(Maybe near Mungalli Creek [the dairy]) I actually think #1&3 were near Mungalli Creek.)

What absolutely delightful countryside! I love those wiggly interocked ridges of hills. So green. And a nice photo of the chauffeur!
Two Vals in a row. How can you tell which is which - no photos?
All I can say is: all that GREEN!
Ah, the photos come up in the pop up window...
I always enjoy your photos, even if you forgot their exact location. How lovely & green it all looks.
I'm drinking in the incredible beauty Alice. It's wonderfully green there, and those cows look healthy and content. Your photos are breathtaking. You certainly saw some lovely sights on your journey.
Great pic of the chauffeur and her dad :)
Better than a travel book.....that is for sure! A real feast for the eyes!
As a North Queenslander now living in Melbourne, it looks to me like you have travelled up the Gillies Hwy from Innisfail through Millaa Millaa to Malanda where the dairy is. There have been lots of changes in the dairy industry but Malanda Milk used to make a lovely cheese called Millaa Millaa Mild. Don't know that you can get it any more. All those bananas (if I've got my geography right) are between Innisfail and Millaa Millaa. The Atherton Tableland is a beautiful place but don't stand still in Millaa Millaa or mildew might grow on you!

Thanks for the virtual tour of North Queensland, Alice!
As always, your photos are stunning.
North Queensland is wonderful.

I want to live with Tanya! The countryside is so beautiful there with many interesting sites to visit.
