A woman's work is never done! Our site in the Woodlands caravan park in this pretty Tablelands town where soils are rich and tasty produce can be grown. During the pioneering days, bullock teams hauled supplies up to Herberton and iron ore back to Port Douglas along what is now the main street of the town.
A variety of waterbirds including flocks of Plumed Whistling Duck chicks feed and inhabit the Nyleta Wetlands (Hastie's Swamp). This is a seasonal wetland with an annual wet and dry cycle. It was the seasonal camp for the Yidinji who followed strict laws regarding the seasonal use of plants and animals for food.
Another of nature's many lessons for us: differences can equal living in harmony for these wetland birds!
