Most of our drive on this continent will unfold along the coast, therefore today is a good option to take a longer route a bit more in the interior. We head to Yungaburra which actually inspires me to use Bunga Bunga as a substitute nickname for any future place we're heading to if I don't know the exact name.
Our little purring car runs great and I feel very confident right from the moment I've turned it on for the first time, that is I've simply toggled my brain to a mirror condition. I can use my right and left hands indifferently and this helps not asking Deborah to shift the gears for me. The whole driving feeling is good as we go up a steep, narrow snake road with sharp bends towards Crater Lakes National Park.
In Millaa Millaa we turn out onto Theresa Creek Rd. which is a loop road passing by several waterfalls. We see the first two falls but can't proceed to the third and last one because the road is barred for bridge maintenance works. No loop then and we're forced to drive back to "Bunga Bunga". Road No. 25 takes us to the east coast and merges into the A1 motorway to Townsville. The city hosts a military base and is graciously laid at the feet of a dominating rock, summit of which is accessible by car, where we take short trails leading to overlooks to the quiet ocean. It's good to take a few steps after 500 Km in the cage.
