I'm 82 and grew up in Innisfail. The Boulders was our favorite swimming hole and Etty Bay our favourite beach. Thank you for this memory. I must go back. My Dad painted half those buildings you have shown and made his money from mildew. They were all painted cream then and should be again.
@21EDO same here... great ol swimming hole along with a few others ...ettybay is our 10 day get away for the last 15yrs. Absolute shame the new owners can't get there shit together...fair dinkum useless
I live not far from Strid and it's first thing I thought. People just don't understand how deep and convoluted these narrow channels are. And the aeration is terrifying to me... the water is so much lighter than the body, and therefore we just don't float. It's such a hidden peril. Wish the Strid had Australian climate though. :D
Hey, a Yank here that did a fair amount of exploring and outdoor adventures in my day. Great little find. I like your style. No hype or gimmicks. I think I like you Down Underers. Thanks.
That was a really interesting video thank you. I know I’m highly un Ikely to get to Australia, so it’s great to be able to experience it through your eyes.
Nice video without any body trying to sell me s-t, at Paronella Park there is a water turbine used to power the park, after the big flood it fell into disuse, it has been resurrected and again producing power agane, imagine in the 1920 having power from water. It’s worth a visit the whole area is so interesting.
Great video, I enjoyed watching, thank you. I’m Australian, and I didn’t even know this place existed! Now I’m going to have to put it on my list of places to visit in my own country….one day.
she nearly got me, i slipped on the rocks don't know how, my legs just got pulled from under me, pulled me down to the edge of a huge rock,i used my whole body to stop me going over the side, i was shaking like a leaf getting out of there.. i was a young man of 21 at the time. (True story )
Hi! I live south of it and was up in the area and also did Paronella Park. An Aboriginal lady there told me she lived around there as a kid and swam in the water all the time and now no way she ever would get in. Lots of crocs now.
FINALLY!) so awesome to have someone showcase the beauty of the INNISFAIL REGION. The township of Innisfail is a hidden gem. Lovely people and the amazing Art Deco buildings ( council needs to offer some sort of funding to shop owners to maintain the upkeep the painting and mould removal of these awesome buildings ). We bought a property in the STUNNING JUBILEE HEIGHTS RAINFOREST RANGES 10 mins outside innisfail. Amazing place to live and so close to everything you need! Love the comments of everyone who has watched this clip. GO INNISFAIL!!! A hidden GEM of coastal beauty and rainforest.
Babinda is my mum's home town. Was nice and quiet back in the day with little infrastructure rough dirt tracks and few people about. Playboy even did an article on the Boulders and the story in the 1980's.
.Hello, Beautiful areas, You tell wonderful and interesting stories about these places. I lived in Perth, Melbourne, and recently in Brisbane. This place is the best place to live for mature people like me and you. The situation got a bit complicated and I returned to Poland .I miss Australia very much. Regards, Waldemar
I lived for a short time in Innisfail and visited the boulders 46 years ago. Feels weird saying 46 years ago!! There were no fences at the boulders then. We just walked down onto the rocks but didn't dare go in.
This is a massive beat up. You can safely slide down the rocks and hundreds of people swim there. It’s pretty obvious where it’s dangerous. Crock of horse 🐴 💩
@@JohnRotten-g6t I suppose that goes for the 21 people who have previously died there too? And for the other local waterways where 2 others died during Christmas period of 2024?? What a stupid comment.
Hi not sure if anyone mentioned this but crocs swim up and down that coast line, they like lie in the shallows where the waters warm and calm or out deeper...and frequent the beaches at night so take a torch out and your sure to see there red eyes ....Paranella recently got slammed by storms so its not looking its best at present...I can attest 1st hand to the dangers of these rivers, I did my white water rafting guides training on the Tully, got sucked under a washing machine rock and had to be helped up barely breathing it can be very dangerous even it looks calm underneath its not...look but stay out
Terry ld like to say how much l am enjoying your unique way of showcasing our beautiful Far North Queensland. You do a wonderful job of it. Thank you ❤
Thank you for sharing your video. A recent class mentioned some hazards of low-head dams. The sign at 3:09 shows drowning machines I had no idea could exist. I learned from your video that seismic activity and wooded terrains can create efficient drowning machines in surface or underground watercourse areas, perhaps in weeks rather than centuries. Thank you again. Safe travels and Happy Returns!
We have a similar spot, the Huntington Gorge in Richmond Vermont. Just below the falls, there are currents that pull you under. I think we are up to 30 deaths there. One death was a rescuer, who was trained and tied to a line, trying to get a body out. The current was so strong they absolutely could not pull him back out. It is also posted, parkin* is no5 allowed anywhere near the dangerous area, but people still go there.
My father passed recently after a long battle with parkinsons disease. My mum had never travelled but she has allways wanted to After seeing this randomly pop up on suggested videos, now I'm subscribed and this is DEFINITELY on our list early next year 👌 We are gunna travel from Newcastle 👌 Thanks for a great video and sharing some info! Can't wait!
Firstly so sorry for your loss. That’s awesome that you’ve been inspired to travel. There are so many beautiful and interesting places in Australia. Enjoy 😀
The Innisfail area is well worth a visit, outside of Cairns to the south. Cairns is the tourist destination but further south is Townsville, it use to be referred to the working man's town. Townsville has a larger population to Cairns and doesn't get the same tourist destination promotion as Cairns does. Having lived in Townsville now for 18 years to date, the entire area from Cairns south includes Ayr, Bowen, Airlie Beach and MacKay. There is no better place to live if your can't tolerate col, wet, southern winters.
I am so glad I stumbled across this video. Everything is just lovely. I'm an American living on the Oregon coast. So, I knew not a thing about this area. I appreciated you giving all that history. The castle is beautiful, and I like thinking about what it was there back the 30's. This has been a much needed escape from real world. Thank you.
Some didn’t aim to go swimming, they walked on the rocks which can be extremely slippery, fell into the water, slipped under and drowned. It is lovely to visit but stay on the right side of the fence.
Why is the population increasing? What's gone wrong to cause that? And what do these cross feed on if there's a population growth issue? Thks@@LetsGo012
So swimming at Etty Beach was safe? I think of stingers and crocs , thanks for this fabulous video , I just found this channel and planning to head back north fir a roadtrip.. cheers
There's also the Nerada Tea Plantation, the best tea I've ever tasted. After being introduced to Nerada tea I have never drank any other tea. They were organic before it was even a thing.
Certainly a beautiful part of the world. I live just 10 minutes north of Cairns and have visited these areas. I was lucky with Cassowary sightings, there was one in someone’s front yard along Bruce Highway, just before the Etty turnoff. We saw a mum and baby in the bush at the bend before entering the caravan park/shop area. People leave out large buckets of water for the Cassowaries outside their cabins and you can often see them drinking there. And lastly, a young man had brought his grandmother for lunch at the cafe on the balcony part, he had brought out her meal and gone back inside to get his. A Cassowary got up on the balcony and started helping itself to her meal. Chaos ensued and the Cassowary was chased from the balcony. Everyone had a great laugh and it was a cool experience. Thank you for your travelogue, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Happy travels. 🥰
My friend Jay died at Paronella Park, it was the wet season and was flooding, 4am...our last jump off the bridge and Jay never resurfaced, they found him swallowed by the sand from the waist to his head, just his legs were sticking out, a freak occurence they said. Gosh I haven't thought about these memories for so long. Otherwise Paronella Park is a beautiful place.
Really good video. Quite professional. Crocs are really only in the tropical parts of Queensland. Never really had to keep my eyes peeled on the Goldie. 😁😁 Had some pretty good weed back in Joe's time. lol He did a good job considering the logistics. Even after all this time the concrete doesn't seem to have too much spalling.
Great Video TERRY. really interested in where you source your music. Especially at 11.45 mark. What is the name of that piece? Thanks and keep posting vids like this. Thanks. Loved every bit of it......
New nightmare unlocked! Those boulder pools, what a horrifying way to die. Mainly 19, 21yos i noticed... full of bravado and looking to have intense experiences. We think we are invincible at that age, and not all of us make it. RIP the boulder rockpools people
I just found your channel. How awesome. I miss FNQ. One day I'll get back there. Your channel is so cool. I look forward to binge watching the rest of your videos. I hope one day my channel will be as professional as yours. Awesome 🙏 One happy new subscriber here. 😁🙏
Crazy thing is I didn't know about that story. I was filming frogs at the time and the frog species I been looking for months was calling on the edge of the rapids late at night. It was a very eerie feeling like it was tempting me to go to the slippery edge. I didn't. Something felt off. Perhaps it was her spirit luring me?
That is a beautiful video-country-side & coast are just fabulous. Have had 3 holidays up that way-2 in Noosa & 1 in Port Douglas. We did an all-day trip through the Daintree & back via Raimbow Beach. We started out in a 4WD then a boat up the river. Saw a beautiful green snake in the trees & lots of baby crocs sunning themselves on the rocks They looked very cute. We had a fabulous driver/ tour guide. There must have been about 6 of us & we all got on really well. Rainbow Beach was amazing. Towards the end of the day, we stopped for an ice-cream & saw a Cassowary strolling around. Talk about the icing on the cake! It was one of those perfect days which don't come along too often. Our guide was such a lovely man-he really made it for us. We had paid in advance but we gave him a good tip because he'd been so outstanding. From NZ.
Great video. Babinda boulders is one of my favourite places on earth. It’s true, the underwater rock formations are dangerous. There are siphons between big boulders underwater that can suck you through and people can get stuck. I went there when I was 17, on that rare day there was literally no flow. We didn’t know about the dangers then. We swam upstream through a siphon and saw a log across the channel. Could definitely imagine the dangers of being sucked through that channel in the other direction and if the log was there it, the current would trap you against it
Really enjoyed this. Have wanted to visit this area, and Townville, for quite some time. Have already been to Cairns a couple of times and loved every bit of it (except the humidity!). Still a bit scared of Nth QLD- too many crocs in the rivers; and stingers at the beach; and killer plants! But I love how it looks. Will def look through the rest of your vids. This is the best way to armchair travel for someone who can no longer get out there for myself. Cheers!
10:07 You may mention it, but just in case you don't, Paronella had his own hydro power station, and the fountains in the scene at about 10 minutes were all gravity powered as well. I'm not sure if they still are, though.
Wonderful video. This song about "daycruising," I cannot find the name or who recorded it short of subscribing to epidemicsound. There are many songs about cruising that pop up on a google search but not this one. A clue please?
There is a section of water like this in the UK called "The Strid", the thing with the Strid is it really doesn't look inviting to swim in. The rocks are sharp, rough and slippy, the forest away from the river bed are the dark and creepy kind and the water is so dark brown from running down from the moors its almost black. The problem is its narrow enough to tempt people into trying to jump across it and failure could mean death, this looks really inviting, the green water, rocks a nice place to relax in the sun and the forest seems more full of life than creepy so I can see why people keep drowning there.
Hello there - interesting video. Thank you for sharing it. We were trying to find that song at the 11:43 mark. Tried the link you included but couldn't find it. Do you recall the name of the group, by chance? Thanks for any help you can provide.
Thank you! We wish you a Merry CHRISTmas! and... stay out of the Devil's Pool! (both physically and spiritually! :) ) (by the way, you look a lot like my father in law! who was a wonderful man :) )
Innisfail is famous for one other reason, it has the highest rainfall of any town in Australia. Best to go there during the dry season, not in January.
FNQ (Far North Queensland) - especially Atherton Tableland - has so many amazing places to see. - unique remnants of ancient rainforest - majestic waterfalls - the highest altitude pub in Australia (ravenshoe) - a massive ancient fig tree - a natural spring with a carpet of fig tree roots growing over (barney's spring) - cold weather in the tropics (ravenshoe) - crystal clear lakes with perfect visability - rainforest to the beach (cape tribulation) - tropical fruit tasting (cape trib) AMAZING fruit

I went to both these places regularly when I lived in Innisfail. Also enjoyed going to Polly creek.
Brilliantly documented, stunning scenery and excellent choice of music! ❤
@@simonspall91 Polly Creek. Haven't heard of that one.
It looks like the Strid in Yorkshire, that similarly has claimed many lives.
I thought so too, even left a comment before reading yours. They both have those overhanging rocks and lethal currents.
I live not far from Strid and it's first thing I thought. People just don't understand how deep and convoluted these narrow channels are. And the aeration is terrifying to me... the water is so much lighter than the body, and therefore we just don't float. It's such a hidden peril.
Wish the Strid had Australian climate though. :D
Only started watching and this is what jumped to mind.
The Strid is reputed to have a 100% death rate, though I believe police divers have entered it from the bottom as a training exercise.
I saw someone describe the Strid as a vertical river.
Hey, a Yank here that did a fair amount of exploring and outdoor adventures in my day. Great little find. I like your style. No hype or gimmicks. I think I like you Down Underers. Thanks.

This is truly better than Getaway on TV ❤

The spelling hasn’t changed again has it? I knew it as Miriwinni. From there I think it went to a double r. Now that?

Yep I slid down the rocks there whilst reading the sign about the curse never forget it
My father passed recently after a long battle with parkinsons disease.

What a beautiful place! I love the sounds in the background! Thank you for staying safe! Great video!
Nice video! Thanks for sharing. Lots of great little moments to see in it.
Nice spot Terry 😀 thanks for another interesting video. Enjoy the Sun, Suzy
Some didn’t aim to go swimming, they walked on the rocks which can be extremely slippery, fell into the water, slipped under and drowned. It is lovely to visit but stay on the right side of the fence.
Love, luck n laughter from England. Thankyou for this stunning beautiful video, awe struck I am.😊❤😊
Glad you enjoyed it 😀
Stuck in Boston on a cold, gray winter’s day and just was transported by this video. Well done sir ❤
I’ve been there twice many years ago,beautiful spot,nice to see an explanation as to why people drown instead of a nonsense curse
Great travelogue; photography, commentary, features. I feel like I've just been up the far north!
Used to stand under Little Mina Falls for hours at a time back in the 80s. Best hydro massage when the flow is right. No crocs back then. Great place❤
Is there really Croc's. Do they have warning signs
Wait, why was there no crocs 40 years ago??🤔
Yes there are warning signs
I’m no expert but my understanding is the croc population is increasing. The young males need to move further up river to establish their territory.
Why is the population increasing? What's gone wrong to cause that? And what do these cross feed on if there's a population growth issue? Thks@@LetsGo012
This was a beautiful journey. Thank you so much for sharing.
Nice informative video, will have to check out Babinda when I do my lap around Australia. Thanks for sharing!!
Loved your background music and enjoyed the tour!
So swimming at Etty Beach was safe? I think of stingers and crocs , thanks for this fabulous video , I just found this channel and planning to head back north fir a roadtrip.. cheers
It was when I was there. It always pays to check on current conditions
Great video. Went swimming at Paranella park water hole 10 years ago Thx for showing us your video.
Thanks. I’m sure Paronella is fine. They’re just being cautious
Never knew about Babinda and certainly had no idea there was so much to see there. Thanks for the video.
It surprised me too. Lovely part of the world
There's also the Nerada Tea Plantation, the best tea I've ever tasted.
After being introduced to Nerada tea I have never drank any other tea.
They were organic before it was even a thing.
That's where I proposed to the misses at paranella Park about 12 years ago
Do you regret it yet?

Great Vid, wow the boulders looks amazing yet scary, especially Devils Pool.
My friend Jay died at Paronella Park, it was the wet season and was flooding, 4am...our last jump off the bridge and Jay never resurfaced, they found him swallowed by the sand from the waist to his head, just his legs were sticking out, a freak occurence they said. Gosh I haven't thought about these memories for so long. Otherwise Paronella Park is a beautiful place.
Just checking, did you mean 4pm? Or were you guys actually jumping off the bridge at 4am?!
That’s horrifying!!
amazing video sir thank you for sharing with the rest of us, Incredible footage!
Really good video. Quite professional.
Crocs are really only in the tropical parts of Queensland. Never really had to keep my eyes peeled on the Goldie. 😁😁
Had some pretty good weed back in Joe's time. lol He did a good job considering the logistics. Even after all this time the concrete doesn't seem to have too much spalling.
Your style is first class mate Makes me think of Alby mangels back in the day
Reminds me of Mossman gorge near Port Douglas. You can swim there. Beuatiful fresh cold clean water. Oh take me back to 1997.
You are one lucky guy, thanks so much I loved every minute you produced, really well presented plus gorgeous music. 😎🇦🇺✅
Thanks so much.
Great Video TERRY. really interested in where you source your music. Especially at 11.45 mark. What is the name of that piece? Thanks and keep posting vids like this. Thanks. Loved every bit of it......

By the way, Babinda Bakery makes the BEST pies anywhere. Ever. Personal opinion, but one I hold strongly…😬😀😀😀
It was closed the day I was there unfortunately
You Aussies carnt beat Kiwi Pies !!
New nightmare unlocked! Those boulder pools, what a horrifying way to die. Mainly 19, 21yos i noticed... full of bravado and looking to have intense experiences.
We think we are invincible at that age, and not all of us make it.
RIP the boulder rockpools people
look up Bolton Strid in the U.K.

Stunning spot and very interesting.
Was only a couple of months ago the water was almost touching that Suspension bridge. Was definitely a amazing sight.
Interesting rock formations and the scenery is outstanding.
That was so enjoyable, I had to watch it again!
From Canada. But lived in Brunei once - the vegetation looks so similar. Even drove around in a Holden in the 70's.
Also known for adding tap water to the rain gauge to try and win the golden gumboot award between, Tully, Innisfail and Babinda!!!
Haha that's hilarious
😅😅
I used to love in NQ. This gorgeous video has a definitely made me homesick

10:07 You may mention it, but just in case you don't, Paronella had his own hydro power station, and the fountains in the scene at about 10 minutes were all gravity powered as well. I'm not sure if they still are, though.
Thank you very much uploaded this I'm from Srilanka
Wonderful video. This song about "daycruising," I cannot find the name or who recorded it short of subscribing to epidemicsound. There are many songs about cruising that pop up on a google search but not this one. A clue please?

Absolutely stunning Australia thank you! 😊
There is a section of water like this in the UK called "The Strid", the thing with the Strid is it really doesn't look inviting to swim in. The rocks are sharp, rough and slippy, the forest away from the river bed are the dark and creepy kind and the water is so dark brown from running down from the moors its almost black. The problem is its narrow enough to tempt people into trying to jump across it and failure could mean death, this looks really inviting, the green water, rocks a nice place to relax in the sun and the forest seems more full of life than creepy so I can see why people keep drowning there.
Hello there - interesting video. Thank you for sharing it. We were trying to find that song at the 11:43 mark. Tried the link you included but couldn't find it. Do you recall the name of the group, by chance? Thanks for any help you can provide.

Innisfail is famous for one other reason, it has the highest rainfall of any town in Australia. Best to go there during the dry season, not in January.
Hey, NO !!!
Tully has the highest rainfall !
You put your garden sprinkler near the rain gauge.

It is so sad that people ignore the warning signs .
Maybe they are locals and know what the risks are and what they are doing :)

Welcome aboard! Glad you found my channel
i've been there!
Camped over-night before climbing the nearby highest altitude mountain in the state of Queensland - Mt Bartle-Frere.
FNQ (Far North Queensland) - especially Atherton Tableland - has so many amazing places to see.
- unique remnants of ancient rainforest
- majestic waterfalls
- the highest altitude pub in Australia (ravenshoe)
- a massive ancient fig tree
- a natural spring with a carpet of fig tree roots growing over (barney's spring)
- cold weather in the tropics (ravenshoe)
- crystal clear lakes with perfect visability
- rainforest to the beach (cape tribulation)
- tropical fruit tasting (cape trib) AMAZING fruit
It’s one of my favourite parts of the country. I made a video featuring most of those places. 😀
@@LetsGo012 Did you find "Barney's Spring" ? Between Mareeba and Atherton. Just of the main road on the left - going to atherton.
Beautiful, I was overcome when I went there, truly a gem !
Lovely video.
A great clip - thanks. Have to say, though, added to these dangerous currents, Noahs and crocs, I'm not sure I need to bring my togs.
