Who has been to Paronella Park?

This is just south of Carins, and I have seen a few show covering it.  It seems like a must do if up that way, and I am thinking of a trip to do just that. Most likely in the car though.  Another trip to plan around everything else....

I visited there in the late 1950s when they still staged weddings, balls and etcetera there.  After I left it fell into disrepair but has been revived as a tourist attraction.  It's an amazing place, located beside a beautiful waterfall.  Well worth the visit.
For the modern man who lives in the city, riding a bike might be one of the only ways to escape the humdrum monotony. To take off and ride. To be both at one with nature and one with the bike. To feel masculine. Adam Piggott

Can you believe the effort that bloke went to for his proposal (in the promo clip on the website)?     :Blow
