Went for a short drive a couple of days ago to Lake Morris, Cairns.
Beautiful trees lined the windy road. The road is 16 klms long or short! and 218 big bends, some hairpin ones. (My husband counted them on the way down)
Beautiful! Here in Montreal, Canada, the weather has been so hot and humid that Environment Canada has issued warnings. There is a lovely lilac tree next to the house where I live and the lilacs have dried out. Sadly they don't take this kind of heat very well. However, the lilies, daisies and hibiscus seem to handle it much better.
It sure is a road of "hair pin bends". If I recall some rest places are on it??? Keep having fun in the sun. Slightly green with envy - ha ha. Cheers Colin
they are really lovely. have a great weekend.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful drive you had.
ReplyDeleteI would enjoy driving that road, only if I could drive slowly!
ReplyDeletePoorest of the that suffering from dizziness if this road passes.

ReplyDeleteVery nice balance of light...
ReplyDeleteIt does look very winding. I guess you 'unhitched'to do so.
ReplyDeleteThe caravan is in the caravan park..there is somewhere to turn if necessary up there...
DeleteThey are pretty trees, all shades the color green. And a pretty curvy road, too.
ReplyDeleteLove those trees. My tummy doesn't like winding roads though.

There are a few places near the bottom of the road that one can rest on a bend!
DeleteLovely warm weather. Days are cloudy with intermittent sun. Rain, no.
Reminds me of the way to Muir Woods
ReplyDeleteI never went there when I lived at Yorkeys and Clifton...I don't know why. It looks like a stunning area.
ReplyDeleteIt is beautiful, World Heritage apparently.
DeleteLovely trees, I bet that road is beautifully shady in summer.
ReplyDeleteWe drove through a similar stretch in northern NSW on our way to Brisbane back in 1971.
very beautiful!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful... but from someone who gets carsick not the best road for me. Perhaps that is why I ended in flat open country with straight roads.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful lush tropical trees. The road looks like our highland roads. Have a lovely weekend!
ReplyDeleteTrees are just fabulous up there. They each have their own character.
ReplyDeleteA pretty drive by the looks.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comments :)
ReplyDeleteI love everything in the tropics. I live in one. Lovely road covered with beautiful trees.
ReplyDeleteThat does look a bendy road.
ReplyDeleteGreat trees thought aren't they.
Keep safe
All the best Jan
I think it would take me forever to drive that road. I would want to be stopping and exploring every 100 metres!
