Mt Fox to Ingham, Nth QLD

Friday 15th October 2021
After heavy rain during the night we woke to mostly blue sky. We headed out early  to hike up Mt Fox. Another steep climb (130m elevation) over a short distance (300m). It took 20mins to climb up and a little less to climb down. There was a pretty view at the top. It was a quick 47 mins exercise done before 10.30am. We then headed back to camp at the Mt Fox Cricket ground and had n early lunch, did some yoga and touched base with home.

After this we headed back down the mountain, an 1.5 hour drive down a scenic, winding, narrow (almost single lane only) road. The cliff was quite sheer on my side so I was grateful we only came across one or two cars going the other way, as no-one really takes the sharp bends quite slow enough for my liking. We then had a swim at Ingham Aquatic Centre, another warm outdoor 50m pool. Unfortunately, the thunderstorm cut our swim short.

We then went for a stroll around the TYTO Wetlands where we saw numerous birds, some too quick to photograph. We are staying tonight at the Palm Tree Tourist Park at Ingham. It has the front of the park on the Bruce Hwy and the back along the railway line. Wish us luck with sleep tonight.
