That Time Up North

In the crispness of my morning walk I found myself day dreaming of this little town at the foot hills of the Eungella range in North QLD, Finch Hatton. On our December holidays last year my girlfriend and I spend the morning exploring this growing hamlet.

This historic little town from the early 1900’s is peppered with relics form a bi gone age and the early morning light was glorious to walk through.

Making our way up the Eunngella range the view from the steep road of the gnawing hillside is spectacular under the mist.

Hidden away down ‘The Diggings’ track is a secret cafe called Eden. Which is easy to see why its named for the amazing countryside surrounding 😍.

Enjoying a coffee and breakfast burger we then played on the giant swing and watched the other adventures play some of the games on the hill.

Some of the iconic buildings in Finch Hatton are the old general store, Criterion Hotel and RSL buildings.

If you are ever up that way the Finch Hatton and Eungella area are worth a day trip with other attractions like Finch Hatton Gorge, Pinnacle Pies, Mt Dalrymple hike and the newly built Finch Hatton MTB track.
