so.<\/p><p>First stop was <a href=\"https:\/\/jaquescoffee.com.au\/\">Jacques coffee<\/a> plantation for a cup of coffee. This is a small local plantation that grows their own delicious coffee. It was interesting seeing and learning how coffee is made.\u00a0<\/p><p>Next stop was the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mareebaheritagecentre.com.au\/\">Heritage Museum<\/a>, which is conveniently located as you enter Mareeba. We did not realise how much was in here and could easily have spent many more hours here reading and learning. We were there that long that we decided to have lunch at the cafe.\u00a0<\/p><p>Next stop was the Coffee Works as I had seen so much signage for the shop that we just had to have a look. If you need some new tea cups, coffee or chocolate, pop in for a look.\u00a0<\/p><p>Last stop for the day was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.granitegorge.com.au\/\">Granite Gorge<\/a>. This place is just beautiful and we wish we had taken the camper up and spent the night. There are animals galore ranging from birds, to lizards and snakes, pigs and a pony, and the local rock wallabies. You can buy some food when you pay the couple of $ for your entrance to the park. The wallabies are cute and not really interested in you if you aren\u2019t going to feed them Lol. We walked around the rock, first up to the left (west) where we saw a heap of turtles swimming in Granite Creek, then down to the east there is so much to explore including signage to dinosaur tracks. It was a really hot day and we did not have ample water on us to keep exploring, so my advice is that if you go to Mareeba, make a weekend of it and take ample water for hiking this area.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2ab026a3 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"2ab026a3\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-533a1412 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"533a1412\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5546e90f elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"5546e90f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Highlight?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6a48601d e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"6a48601d\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-220f88fa elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"220f88fa\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Granite Gorge was a nice surprise<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-757e06f4 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"757e06f4\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5867f26f e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"5867f26f\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5701dd20 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"5701dd20\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Would I do it again?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-547f85e0 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"547f85e0\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7ef8dd4e elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7ef8dd4e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Yes.
