It seems that each day that we head further south it gets colder and the weather is more unpleasant. Today is another grey day, with drizzly rain, but it is warm at around 25 degrees. And a bit sticky. We headed for Paronella Park, which is a park created by José Paronella in the 1930s. It is an awesome and beautiful park, which we toured by day and night, and we camped in their caravan park.
The day tour was lovely and we enjoyed hearing about José Paronella’s dream to create a Spanish castle in Queensland. He was such an inspiring man, and developed a hydro electric system long before electricity came to the area, and I am sure that it was a park that was enjoyed by many people. The night tour was different, and some areas of the park are illuminated and this creates a spectacular effect. The highlights were the waterfall and the refreshment centre – both beautiful by day, and awesome at night.
