Description

Fairly good road conditions along the highway to get to the turn off up the range. Exceptional ride up through the rainforest to the town of Paluma ~900m above sea level. You can refuel the body at the Rainforest Inn at the top of the range. On the way down stop at Little Crystal Ck for a refreshing dip.
