My Town! - Ravenshoe
This is a member only article
Neil Birch takes us on a quick tour of his town…Ravenshoe!
Pronounced; 'Ravens ho'. Ravenshoe is on the Atherton Tableland in Far North Queensland. It is located 123 kilometres (76 mi) southwest of the regional centre, Cairns.
What I love about Ravenshoe...We would be able to show you around Ravenshoe as follows: Waterfalls, wind turbine farms, highest hotel in Queensland, Koombooloomba Dam, Tully Falls Gorge, Innot Hot Springs mineral spa, Railway Museum, pristine rainforests.
Where we wander...There are numerous National Parks in our surrounding area with walking tracks, picnic facilities and terrific places for a dip in the clear mountain creeks with pristine rainforests all around, perfect for a picnic. Not far from our Home is the Millaa Millaa Lookout giving outstanding views over the Valley to Millaa Millaa.
My favourite place to get a beer with friends is... Ravenshoe Hotel. A two story timber building dating back to early pioneering days. It has a lot of antique furniture and memorabilia, good food and cold beer. Rumours Cafe at Millaa Millaa is a good place to call in for a cuppa and a good meal.
If we want to escape from the world for a little while I go to...
The idea from escaping from the world to our favourite place mostly is wishful thinking for us. Occasionally it does happen and this is having the freedom of being nude on a beach, just over a 2 hour drive away. We are able to have our own piece of happiness, contentment & fulfilment every day on our lovely 6.5 acre property clothes free. Every day is different and every day is a blessing to us for what we have together. The clean fresh air 850-900 meters above sea level is amazing.
What's the Vibe? During the early pioneering days the town of Ravenshoe was a timber town, with huge areas of trees logged for timber. The facades of the shops in town reflect the pioneering days, and the township can become busy, with the next town approximately the same size of Ravenshoe west hundreds of kilometres away. We live a quiet life 9km out of town and do not have contact with other gay males in our area. We would love this to change though.
My Husband Geoffrey and I live at Ravenshoe on the southern end of the Atherton Tablelands, North Queensland. We'd love you to come and visit, we have a very comfortable home stay or a perfect grassy campsite for motorhomes or tents. Clothing optional. A small donation ($15-$30) to cover costs and meals would be appreciated.
Drop us a line to organise a stay in our piece of paradise.
