Gorgeous! Finch Hatton Gorge

Near Mackay we headed inland slightly to stay in Finch Hatton gorge.

Sadly, at the Platypus bush camp we didn't see any platypuses (platypi?)
The campground is worthy of it's own separate post.....so come back later for that one.

But we did walk up the road a couple of hundred metres, fording the creek

to reach a lovely bush cafe.

With organic chai and sugar-free treats -

Anne is the lovely owner of this delightful garden sanctuary.

 Further up the road (we drove, still not feeling the strongest after the flu-thingy) are waterfalls and swimming holes

....but the water was FREEZING!
