Vlog #8 - Waterfalls of Australia: Adventures in FNQ
On another beautiful day here in Far North Queensland, Australia I am taking you along to have a glimpse into more of the lovely countryside that this place has to offer. Travel with me as we head up the range to view some magnificent waterfalls tucked away in the think sub-tropical jungle as well as a few native animals along the way.
These three waterfalls we visited are all located in the Tablelands around an hour and a half from Cairns City. All three are easily accessible and completely free to view. A must see natural attraction if you find yourself in this region of the country. Though I found them all fairly easy to access they become steadily more difficult to get to from Milla Milla Falls to Ellinjaa Falls respectfully. Since the access is the most difficult for the last falls you will definitely find the most peace from other travelers in this setting. If you really want to see these falls in their full glory then try to time your visit just after a heavy rainfall has occurred. I hope this video finds you well and you enjoy these glorious scenes. Happy travels :)
Music is by @drkent, give him some love if you enjoy this song as much as I have: Find the original song here
p.s. At one point in the video you see me drinking out of the river with a blue tube and you might be asking yourself what is going on there? That is a Lifestraw (find them here) which is by far my favorite travel device that I bring along with me on trips abroad. If there is a water source then you have a place to drink :) I will be making a video about this amazing device in the coming weeks.

Want to have your post on the map too?
Woot :D thanks @steemitworldmap.
Liked and resteemed, my friend @maslowmission! Thanks for the shoutout, and using the tunes :) Wow, man – stunning stuff. I need to visit there someday!
Thank you for the upvote and resteem and thank you even more for creating this lovely tune man! I listened to it and instantly knew it was going to fit so well into this video but I had a bit of chuckle because the title of song is a stark contrast to the images in what I had filmed haha
I reckon you would love it here man. Every place that we go I am even more shocked at how incredibly beautiful it is. Endless surprises :) Curious to know something, how long have you been playing guitar? Also did you lay down that violin section as well??
Ah yes, I love contrasts! That's the beauty of art :) And truly endless surprises!
So, what you're hearing on this isn't violin, but viola da gamba :) And that's not me, but a great bass & viola da gamba player named Nick Walker from NY. I've been playing guitar for maybe around 25 years now? Wow, that dates me :)
A viola da gamba you say?? Never heard of this instrument I don't believe. Time to do a bit of searching to see what this baby looks like :)
Big ups to Nick Walker. He's a hell of a musician! Ehh being dated is a good thing. The more years that pass the wiser we become which you obviously embody in a lot of the content. Glad you picked that instrument up all those years ago, its really a blessing to listen to you play brother.
Thank you! Cheers :)
Beautiful spot!
Just one of the many of this amazing country :)
SO ZEN!
Just your daily bit of peace there buddy :D
Seeing those Turkey's made me think....did you know it was almost the national bird of the U.S.? Ben Franklin believed it was "more respectable" than the eagle which thought was "of bad moral character." Haha. Always found that interesting.
For a man that played such an integral role in the development of the United States and was also a brilliant inventor I have always found this fact to be hilarious! It's hard to imagine thanksgiving as it currently stands if the national bird had become the turkey. Would we then be having eagles for this celebration? Food for thought I suppose haha :)
in Zillie falls the colourful reflection of a rainbown on the water is fantastic. Have you met some further local animals as well as local fishes ? :) :)
Thank you for the comment :) I really loved seeing that rainbow dancing right in front of the waterfall and was so glad that I was able to capture it so I could share its beauty. Nothing to new yet my friend! I really want to see a cassowary and a crocodile but only a crocodile from distance! haha :) cheers brother!
p.s. Where are you located now? Based off of your user name it seems like you do a lot of traveling yourself.
If you around Cairns try the croc burger :) At the moment in my country Italy planning to move again. Well I lived worked and travel in Europe, India and Australia I trying to go another continent hopefully .
I would love to give that a go but I do not eat meat so I will have to take your word on in it that it is delicious :D haha
When will you be in India next? I will be there later this year for some more travel adventures.
Well I did not know you were vegetarian sorry about that . I applied for Canada International experience one year visa work permit
No worries man! I take no offense in your suggestion. I am not one of those vegetarians that hates on people that eat meat :)
Very nice trip. Thanks for taking us along.
You are very welcome @to7. Thank you for coming along with me :)
