Our first stop after Cairns was Mareeba which is less then 1 hour inland from Cairns. We drove up the mountains to Mareeba in heavy fog, it was BEAUTIFUL! We were told the roads were very steep and windy, and they were, however, they weren't as steep and windy as we expected which was good!

We stayed for 3 nights on a farm called Ringers Rest in Mareeba. What a beautiful place to stay, just BEAUTIFUL. We were camped in a horse paddock with about 7 horses and ponies around us. The horses would go under our awning, pressing their noses against the window of the caravan wanting to say hello and get some food off us, it was a great experience.

In the
morning we woke up to many hot air balloons in the sky, the night sky
was full of stars, we enjoyed beautiful sunsets, we spotted some tree kangaroos, and enjoyed patting,
feeding and interacting with the horses everyday, It was Great!
After a couple of nights the horses drove Shane a little bit nutty going through our rubbish, munching on food very loudly outside our bedroom window, one large horse even tried to give Shane a good kick, Hahaha, it was HILARIOUS!

| Gorgeous! |

Ringers rest was $10 a night, WOWSA, the cheapest (other than free) accommodation we've paid for, however, the $10 only covered your site and only compost drop toilets were available (YUK...one of the worst experiences ever, Haha, don't use them at night I'm warning you, Haha, use your portable toilet if you have one instead, Haha!), there was no dump point ( there was a public dump point near town though), there was no power hook up or water hook up, and no showers, however a tap was available to fill your tanks up with water as much as you liked.
Despite the lack of facilities we really enjoyed our stay at Ringers Rest, Mareeba.
Have a look at our pics...
