Mission Beach is a village type of location. We were here some years ago during a dry season extended wet spell, if you can understand that. Today the rain abated and it was a swirly windy day. We walked into the village area this morning and found that the main laneway had had a fire last year which took out three eateries. There are still lots of choices. After the morning coffee and bacon and egg toastie we went to Clump Mountain. This was a four km circuit that took us to a high view of Dunk Island and Hinchinbrook Island. We had lunch at the top and then came down for a bit of beach combing. We tried for an hour to sit by our pool here but the breeze drove us inside even though the Sun was trying to get out.

Dunk Island was bought last year by the Atlassian guys (of IT fame) for $23 Million. The resort there was broken by a storm some years back. If they fix it up I might try staying there. |
