The Lakehouse is situated at Lake Tinaroo on the Tablelands, west of Cairns, see map below.View Larger Map
I raced up from work Saturday and arrived at 6pm in time for tea. Princess was there with Cookie and also Choony had brought up some Swiss visitors, Denise and Roger. Cookie lived up to her name and prepared us a Steak and mushroom sauce delight with vegetables.
After tea, we watched a DVD and then I went to bed.
This was my view Sunday morning. Princess and Cookie had to leave early and were quickly replaced by little cook, Andrew.
This is a tick that crawled onto me within minutes of getting to the water at Lake Tinaroo.
We met the neighbours' dog and it soon became apparent to all and sundry that he had a problem...
He really loved sticks! Choony and Roger demonstrate this, while Denise looks on in disbelief.
Throw, fetch, chase, return and ...you get the picture.
and on it went....
He would catch sticks mid air...
...and he would dance for sticks....
Eventually, we gave up on ever tiring him out and returned to the Lakehouse.
Then we started the waterfall circuit and tour.
This was eerie. This is Milla Milla falls which I have had several dreams about lately but i didn't realise it was Milla Milla. As soon as I got here I recognised it from my dreams. It was probably 30 years ago that I was here.
Another eerie moment at the same location was seeing this dragonfly, which I had also had dreams about.
Lunch was spent at a local historic pub called the Peremon Hotel. Here is a map of the circuit we followed.

Lake Eacham was our last stop and we had a swim here. I was reluctant at first because it was not a warm day but soon I took to it like a duck to the proverbial.
We ended our perfect day with another frisbee throwing sesh in the Lake Eacham car park. I think I am becoming an addict!
