Flying Fish Point

We were headed to Flying Fish Point just east of Innisfail. We planned to stop to visit Speed and Sam, who are living west of Gordonvale in the shadow of Walsh’s Pyramid. Lunch was excellent and it always great to catch up with these guys, especially for Steve who wasn’t in Cairns for my Birthday the previous week where Speed and Sam dined with us.

Continuing towards Flying Fish Point we followed the dirt back road where we were required to give way to our first cassowary and small chick. Having seen countless signs warning us of the presence of cassowaries we were beginning to wonder if the existence of these birds was indeed a myth as claimed by Speed.

We stayed in the caravan park with an evening stroll around Flying Fish Point checking out this somewhat out-of-the-way seaside village.
