   Josephine Falls After I came home from Zumba dance class at the Gym in Innisfail on Thursday, the sun was out, and the weather forecast was for a few days of tropical rain, so we decided to go sightseeing while it was fine. We headed north towards Cairns on the Bruce Highway and just south of Babinda we took the turn off to Mount Bartle Frere, the highest mountain in Queensland and followed this road into the National Park to Josephine Falls. Mt Bartle Frere had her head as usual, swathed in clouds, a very pretty sight. There were no signs in the car park that no dogs, were allowed, so it was OK to have her in the car there, just not on the walk. Reg and I took it in turns to walk in the 700-metres to the falls then return, while one of us stayed in the car with our dog, Indigo. Josephine falls is a popular swimming area, though there are no swimming signs at the start of the walk.  The path was well made and wide enough for wheel chair access though it was steep in parts and many areas were, only accessed via stairs. After our trip to Josephine falls which was one of the prettiest we have seen so far in Queensland, Reg and I went to the beach and I ran on the sand with Indigo. It was fun but Oh did the backs of my legs ache after this active but fun dayout, all that activity, Reg’s freshly caught fish and locally grown Queensland organic farm vegetables we bought from a roadside stall.
