On our way to our next camping spot, Dunk Island View Caravan Park in Mission Beach, we travelled through the Wooroonooran National Park and came upon the Mamu Rainforest Canopy Walkway. Feeling the need to stretch our legs, we paid up and went in for a 2 km walk. they have about 500m of elevated walkway though the rainforest canopy plus a  platform that stretches about 40m out over the gorge and a tower that is level with the top of the canopy.

It was pretty spectacular considering much of this part of the forest was decimated by Cyclone Yasi in 2011

Red Banded Jezebel

In the carpark there was a bottlebrush which was covered in small red, white, yellow and black butterflies which Terry later found out were Red Banded Jezebels. We also saw a couple of large, brilliant blue Ulysses butterflies and some honeyeaters on the same bottlebrush. The walk had some amazing views over the South Johnstone River and the surrounding mountains.

We even climbed the tower at the end of the walk which made you feel like you were at the top of the mountains. From there we continued on to South Mission Beach and our caravan park.
