Monday the 14th of September 2020 – Cowley Beach, Queensland

Not a big day today, just 120 k’s down the road to Cowley Beach but weather wise it was big! We had to drive thru the biggest rain storm yet on our trip. The coast is experiencing some un-seasonal weather over the next 5 days with plenty of rain. Unfortunately our planned stay on the beach fishing looks like going awry.

We stopped off in Innisfail for lunch at a cafe on the Esplanade and it was excellent and after Fitzroy Island, extremely good value. During the meal we were hit by another rain storm. Funny thing was there were more Victorians in the Cafe than locals.

We’re here for 3 nights and will be touring the area over the next few days before heading down towards Townsville.

The Esplanade, Innisfail.
Lunch at the Cafe, its pouring in the background. Haven’t seen this heavy rain in a long time. No wonder Tully (about 40 k’s further south) is the wettest town in Australia.
