HEADING SOUTH TO TROPICAL ATHERTON TABLELAND

South from Cooktown through high ranges that are still part of the "Great Dividing Range" that is the third longest land-based range in the world.  It runs parallel to the coast for about 3,700 kilometers from Melbourne to beyond Cooktown at the top.

We spent 2 nights at Rifle Creek Rest Area just north of Mount Molloy where we walked into town to view all the sights there and get a fresh loaf of bread.  How yummy was that bread!!

We found this anthill decorated with a sarong, face painted and and umbrella in behind the rest area.
