Crystal Cascades

The Footprints Lodge is managed by a terrific, accommodating older couple - Sam and Marguerite. When we arrived, Marguerite provided us with all manner of amenities - drying racks, coat-hangers, hampers, etc. Today, we piled in the lodge's 15-passenger van and Sam drove us south to Crystal Cascades - a beautiful walking path along a series of waterfalls and swimming holes in the rainforest. Rainbow bee-eaters, cockatoos, sunbirds, and a Lace monitor were among the fauna we observed. This was definitely the first time I've seen a sign warning of stinging trees!
