Art Deco

Innisfail

Woke to another beautifully sunny day this morning.  When our car was packed once more, we had morning tea with my sister and brother in law before we said our good byes.
I can't believe that the last three weeks have sped by so quickly.
Mixed feelings about our departure.
Our first stop is Innisfail, which was devastated during Cyclone Larry.  This town has certainly risen from the ashes, as it were.
Many buildings were damaged in 2006 and as we walked through the central business district, we witnessed many tradesmen still carrying out major repairs on offices etcetera.
The good news is that buildings damaged during the cyclone have been restored in the Art Deco style of the town's architectural heritage.
The brilliant blue sky complemented the colourful architecture.
Also visited the Chinese Temple which reflects one aspect of the multicultural influence of the sugarcane town.

We found a shady spot by the river to enjoy the lunch my sister had packed for us before we left Innisfail for Mena Creek.
