Well second last day here, first on the list today is a trip down to Cairns for a couple of hours then back to do some exploring, I really don’t like the road down from here the Gillies highway about 45ks of twists and turns if you manage to get over 60kph you are not in a Nissan patro I can tell you. And then you will always get Fangio driving his piece of crap sitting right up your bum trying to make you speed up, we are now going to maintain 40kph and Fangio hasn’t got the message because he is now feigning to pass over double lines on blind corners,anyway enough about my issues we get our business done and head back up the Gillies*#$
On the way down we saw a dirt road that we haven’t been down yet so decided to have a look on the way back n ow my friends know that I cannot resist finding what lies at the end of a dirt road and this one gave us a clue because the sign said Gillies road lookout with a warning (Not suitable for caravans or trailers) what it should have said hey don’t try to take your van down this road because first up it goes up and fairly quickly, it wasn’t so bad just a bit of fun and a couple of gates.
When you get to the top, it’s only 4K the view is spectacular a great lookout over the valley a sheer drop but I was concerned about the safety fence because it had gates that opened out on to the edge.
But after looking around we see that this is where the Cairns’s hang gliding club cast themselves out into the wild blue younder
