SHE
SAID:
I
managed a short dash around the Port Douglas markets before we left
the area for Atherton, on the Tablelands. Geoff, not being a markets
fan, waited “patiently” in the car.
I did buy donuts so he was
happy!
We
stopped at Mareeba & had a look around the historic museum.
Tobacco was the industry there for many years, though no longer.
Coffee, sugar cane & mangoes have now taken over.
We
tried to find Bald Knob for lunch, but failed, instead sitting amongst
the water towers on Bowcock Road overlooking the surrounding
countryside.
Our
AirBnB in Atherton was fine, though I found it strange that the
owners were obviously home, but made no attempt to greet us. Instead
they texted that the room was open & the keys on the table!

Why would I want to go to markets? For the food - maybe. Crappy, hippie souvenirs and clothes are not my thing.
