North of Townsville en route to Port Douglas I stopped to make this picture. Classic natural beauty near the coast. Reef and rainforest. Mountains which are often obscured by cloud have claimed aircraft losses during WWII. A marina recently constructed near the main highway north was the centre of much bitter local controversy. The long term on the pristine region effects have yet to be realised.
