North Queensland Holiday: Day out on the Tablelands

Our time at Possum Valley was spent relaxing at the cottage and exploring the local rainforest, however we also did the touristy thing and visited a number of places of interest on the Tablelands...here's photographic evidence of our adventurous day.

My Hypipamee National Park (The Crater)

The green waterweed covered volcanic pipe or vent (diatreme). The vent is thought to have been created by a large explosion when gas, rising from the earth, rapidly expanded and produced a deep, cylindrical hole.
