Jacky got the brownie points today, she was the first to say Happy Anniversary. She had been prepping herself all week because for the past few years it has been me who has reminded her of the significance of today usually with the help of an Outlook calendar and often later in the day.
Today we are travelling to Ravenshoe, the highest town in Queensland, 930 mtrs (3,050ft) above sea level and after the dry flat Gulf country the hills and green countryside was a welcome change. We arrived around lunch time and checked out the visitors centre and they recommended camping in the old railway yards right in town.

It wasn’t too bad, though the caretaker was doing his best to squeeze as many people in as he could so it was a little cramped for space but at $10 / night for a powered site we couldn’t complain.
We set up camp and went looking for lunch, being such an important day we decided to hang the expense and eat out today. The local café made an excellent Chicken Caesar salad, from there we went to see the Millstream Falls, the widest single drop falls in Australia.

If this is true then we don’t have many wide rivers with water falls in Australia. After a look around it was back to camp to finish setting up, have a shower and head off  to the pub for tea.

There are two pubs in town, the lower and the upper, in our walk around town Jacky had checked out both dining rooms and the upper pub was in the old traditional pub style, it even had tablecloths and a white rose on each table.

At top end of town it also claimed to be the highest pub in Queensland. Dinner excellent, the pub staff were very friendly and it topped off a very nice day for our Anniversary.
