Nice swimming holes. Be sure to check the signs and don’t ever swim where crocs may habitat in FNQ. Always ask a local if you’re unsure. Mountain view pub is a lovely place to stop for a drink or lunch whilst you’re out this way. It’s on the main drag/road - heading as if you’re going up the range.
