FAR NORTH QUEENSLAND

A DAY AT THE BEACH.

MILLA MILLA FALLS DAINTREE RAINFORREST.

   :  QLD.        Pristine Four Mile Beach"

 

  Located North of Cairns in far north Queensland Port Douglas is an idylic place to spend some time as I did recently..The beaches are extremely well kept as are all the local lawns and Gardens ,tropical flowers are in abundance everywhere..sometimes these beaches get devistated by local cyclones..but are always restored to their natural states..Swimming sometimes can be a major problem as the box jellyfish tend to proliferate the local waters as do the" Irakanji" another type of jellyfish that can deliver fatal stings if not attended to immediately..ALL beaches in Northern Queensland have boxes on the beaches containing" vinegar"  that are (lifesavers ) takes the sting out of the bite..These are all well signed and there are usually lifeguards on the beaches in Australia and here in Queensland relate the daily information of the beach also usually signed with the conditions , water temperature etc..This is a beautiful part of the world and mother nature shares it with everyone..
 This is a souvenir card posted home from my visit here. This was a stop that I visited a few times while staying in Cairns on my 'Around the World by Train " journey...I see it was 28 degrees warm and humid that day..Posted 24 May 2011
