Eungella National Park – waterfalls (difficult way to get there) and platypus spotting




After getting the advice of many other travellers to visit the Eungella NP we decided to take a look ourselves. We first went to the Finch Hatton George where the waterfall was, after visiting already a couple of waterfalls during out time in Australia we get again disappointed: the huge and famous waterfall was again very little ;-( But at least the way there was an adventure, it was really bumpy and on the way were some waterholes where other people get stuck…smile…. But our kombi and Dirk as the driver did a great job and Silke took some pictures and made her feet wet to prove that;-) We just wondered why the kombi get inside more wet than from the outside! At the Broken River we could spot some platypus, they were amazingly small animals.
On our way we saw a huge VW wrecker in somebody’s backyard. We had to stop there and take some pictures. There were some dogs taking an eye on us, but they were really friendly and let us do our job.
