Innisfail (and Ingham) has some great Art Deco buildings, due to cyclones at the time warranting rebuilding. The Masonic Lodge is particularly fine. Cardwell has improved with quite a nice esplanade and soon after the highway offered good views back toward Hinchinbrook Island. At Ingham the Tyto Wetlands are very impressive, where we saw a resident crocodile. We had lunch at the 'Original Pub With No Beer' - the highs of regional tourism! The road up to the Paluma Range National Park - to the village of Paluma - was very twisty. But the waterfalls and rainforest were excellent. As it was wet we stayed in a motel and enjoyed the quaint 1940's vibe of the mountain village.
