    I'm 82 and grew up in Innisfail. The Boulders was our favorite swimming hole and Etty Bay our favourite beach. Thank you for this memory. I must go back. My Dad painted half those buildings you have shown and made his money from mildew. They were all painted cream then and should be again.

    Nice video without any body trying to sell me s-t, at Paronella Park there is a water turbine used to power the park, after the big flood it fell into disuse, it has been resurrected and again producing power agane, imagine in the 1920 having power from water. It’s worth a visit the whole area is so interesting.

    FINALLY!) so awesome to have someone showcase the beauty of the INNISFAIL REGION. The township of Innisfail is a hidden gem. Lovely people and the amazing Art Deco buildings ( council needs to offer some sort of funding to shop owners to maintain the upkeep the painting and mould removal of these awesome buildings ). We bought a property in the STUNNING JUBILEE HEIGHTS RAINFOREST RANGES 10 mins outside innisfail. Amazing place to live and so close to everything you need! Love the comments of everyone who has watched this clip. GO INNISFAIL!!! A hidden GEM of coastal beauty and rainforest.

    Hi not sure if anyone mentioned this but crocs swim up and down that coast line, they like lie in the shallows where the waters warm and calm or out deeper...and frequent the beaches at night so take a torch out and your sure to see there red eyes ....Paranella recently got slammed by storms so its not looking its best at present...I can attest 1st hand to the dangers of these rivers, I did my white water rafting guides training on the Tully, got sucked under a washing machine rock and had to be helped up barely breathing it can be very dangerous even it looks calm underneath its not...look but stay out

    The Innisfail area is well worth a visit, outside of Cairns to the south. Cairns is the tourist destination but further south is Townsville, it use to be referred to the working man's town. Townsville has a larger population to Cairns and doesn't get the same tourist destination promotion as Cairns does. Having lived in Townsville now for 18 years to date, the entire area from Cairns south includes Ayr, Bowen, Airlie Beach and MacKay. There is no better place to live if your can't tolerate col, wet, southern winters.

    Thank you for sharing your video. A recent class mentioned some hazards of low-head dams. The sign at 3:09 shows drowning machines I had no idea could exist. I learned from your video that seismic activity and wooded terrains can create efficient drowning machines in surface or underground watercourse areas, perhaps in weeks rather than centuries. Thank you again. Safe travels and Happy Returns!

    Certainly a beautiful part of the world. I live just 10 minutes north of Cairns and have visited these areas. I was lucky with Cassowary sightings, there was one in someone’s front yard along Bruce Highway, just before the Etty turnoff. We saw a mum and baby in the bush at the bend before entering the caravan park/shop area. People leave out large buckets of water for the Cassowaries outside their cabins and you can often see them drinking there. And lastly, a young man had brought his grandmother for lunch at the cafe on the balcony part, he had brought out her meal and gone back inside to get his. A Cassowary got up on the balcony and started helping itself to her meal. Chaos ensued and the Cassowary was chased from the balcony. Everyone had a great laugh and it was a cool experience. Thank you for your travelogue, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Happy travels. 🥰

It was a very eerie feeling like it was tempting me to go to the slippery edge. I didn't. Something felt off. Perhaps it was her spirit luring me?

    Great video. Babinda boulders is one of my favourite places on earth. It’s true, the underwater rock formations are dangerous. There are siphons between big boulders underwater that can suck you through and people can get stuck.
    I went there when I was 17, on that rare day there was literally no flow. We didn’t know about the dangers then. We swam upstream through a siphon and saw a log across the channel.
    Could definitely imagine the dangers of being sucked through that channel in the other direction and if the log was there it, the current would trap you against it

    There is a section of water like this in the UK called "The Strid", the thing with the Strid is it really doesn't look inviting to swim in. The rocks are sharp, rough and slippy, the forest away from the river bed are the dark and creepy kind and the water is so dark brown from running down from the moors its almost black. The problem is its narrow enough to tempt people into trying to jump across it and failure could mean death, this looks really inviting, the green water, rocks a nice place to relax in the sun and the forest seems more full of life than creepy so I can see why people keep drowning there.

    That is a beautiful video-country-side & coast are just fabulous. Have had 3 holidays up that way-2 in Noosa & 1 in Port Douglas. We did an all-day trip through the Daintree & back via Raimbow Beach. We started out in a 4WD then a boat up the river. Saw a beautiful green snake in the trees & lots of baby crocs sunning themselves on the rocks They looked very cute. We had a fabulous driver/ tour guide. There must have been about 6 of us & we all got on really well. Rainbow Beach was amazing. Towards the end of the day, we stopped for an ice-cream & saw a Cassowary strolling around. Talk about the icing on the cake! It was one of those perfect days which don't come along too often. Our guide was such a lovely man-he really made it for us. We had paid in advance but we gave him a good tip because he'd been so outstanding. From NZ.

    Crocs are really only in the tropical parts of Queensland. Never really had to keep my eyes peeled on the Goldie. 😁😁
    Had some pretty good weed back in Joe's time. lol He did a good job considering the logistics. Even after all this time the concrete doesn't seem to have too much spalling.

    I witnessed the drowning here in 2004. A 32yo Adelaide man. I was sitting on the rock down near the last rapids and heard a group coming down the rapids from Devils pools. 3 men and 1 woman. As they got closer 3 of them got out except the Adelaide man. I saw him continue to swim. I approached the others asking what he was doing. They said he was going to continue swimming down the 'chute'. I urged them to convince him to get out as people get trapped and drown.....they went and spoke to him. The last I saw was him laughing at them and continuing to swim towards the chute. His girlfriend was at the bottom of the chute with her camera waiting to get a shot of him. Soon after I realised he was not coming out.....the group started panicking and one of his mates was preparing to jump in to save him but he was not visible. I ran over and grabbed the guy just before he jumped in and said he was going to get stuck in the watwr aswell and drown.....it was one of the most shocking things I had ever witnessed. I went back to carpark and called 000 as there was no reception at the pools.

    Really enjoyed this. Have wanted to visit this area, and Townville, for quite some time. Have already been to Cairns a couple of times and loved every bit of it (except the humidity!). Still a bit scared of Nth QLD- too many crocs in the rivers; and stingers at the beach; and killer plants! But I love how it looks. Will def look through the rest of your vids. This is the best way to armchair travel for someone who can no longer get out there for myself. Cheers!
