Wallaman Falls and Townsville

Yesterday we took a detour inland to the Wallaman waterfalls (largest vertical drop, 268m, within Australia). We hiked down to the base of the falls and I went for a swim while Anja was scared because some bloke told her that there were eels and prawns in the 20m deep pool. Oh well, missed out on a fantastic refreshment :) After a 35 min steep climb back to the rim of the canyon we drove back to the coast and set up camp south of Ingham enjoying potatoes and sour cream for dinner in our cozy little camper van.

Today we continued south and arrived in Townsville around 11am. After checking out the town and deciding not to visit the pricy ReefHQ Aquarium, we got information about how to reach Magnetic Island which we will be exploring 2morrow.
