Not much to report around Innisfail, nice enough town, old streets around the CBD make for some confusion - set up back before cars were common.

It was cool to see the river I had camped beside become huge as it approaches the sea and joins with the North Johnstone River




The color of this boat caught my eye.





I'm Pretty sure I saw the same boat 4 days later in Cooktown, was nice to think of a parallel trip in a sail boat.

While in town I took the opportunity to research a camp site for the night, decided on Goldsborough Valley, back into the forest and about an hour away.





This ended up being my favourite find for this trip, hadn't known about it before hand was pleasantly surprised, absolutely beautiful spot.
Drive in was spectacular as well, easy enough but did have to take it slow in a few spots once on the dirt, mostly single lane gravel road, might be slippery in the wet.

Campground was pretty full so I had to take what was left, I knew this when I booked the site online from Innisfail, but was not ready for just how many people were in the day use area, must have been some type of community picnic, over 100 people with drums and flags etc, Indian people. Happy when they left in the late afternoon.
























The site was not the greatest but I was happy to be here.





Went for a walk





Talk about well established root systems





I was already impressed with the forest, then I found the river!






Found this spot where the tree's overhang the river, I sat in a tree with my feet dangling in the water watching the sunset, Huck Finn would have been proud.















Sat here probably longer than I should have and ended up walking back to camp in the dark, it did give me a chance to play with a little flash photography though
