Gregory Development Road
Much of the road here is a single tar strip
Much of the land is divided into huge cattle stations
Typical roadside scenery
Every so often we see rocky hills

Road train and a controlled roadside burn
Forty Mile Scrub
A rare area of dry rainforest. The oxymoron is explained because the environment depends on rainforest principals (dense canopy discourages undergrowth, suppressing fire which would destroy the ecosystem)
Bottle tree, like a baobab it can store water and minimize water loss
Typical dense vine thicket
Little Mulgrave - Cairns
Back in sugar cane country
Fishery Falls
A small hamlet...
in the cane fields...
between Cairns and Inisfail
