Yeah, this is the beach... Actually, this is the fishing spot, the beach is real nice, but I don't go in for that stuff. I've bought a fishing reel, gonna try it off this spot somtime.


Well, something there is a lot of here is trains like miles long. These trains are packed with minerals or produce mostly. They really move mountains, literally.


At the top of Paluma, there was this idyllic spot, there is actually a natural flowing spring not seen in these pics, but collects into a natural swimming pool of considerable size. A few locals were swimming in it, deff. a chilled spot.


This is the underneath of a bridge in Paluma. The whole area was blasted and drilled by hand. During a recession hundreds of years ago, local men were allowed 6 weeks for a bob a week. If they had kids they got 10 weeks work, how nice.


This statue is in the village of Paluma, which is at the top of a mountain. Try as I did on WIKI and the net, I couldn't place no record of whom JAMES HENRY LINTON actually was, or what he was a pioneer of, but surely he must have been recognised by the locals for something, interesting.
