A highlight at Paronella Park is Kauri Avenue.

Kauri Pines are particularly interesting trees because unlike other trees they have evolved with ‘self-shedding bark.’ Instead of vines and other plants being able to wind and twirl around the trunk pushing themselves upwards to compete with the Kauri for light and life source, the Kauri has evolved to simply shed its bark, sending the vines back down to Earth.
Kauris can live up to hundreds of years, so when Jose Paronella planted these he knew he would never see them in full. (In fact, at just 90 years old, these Kauris are still only considered toddlers). It really was a gift for the next generations to come.

Paronella Park is a heritage-listed tourist attraction located at Mena Creek, Queensland, Australia, 120 kilometres (75 mi) south of Cairns. It was designed and built between 1929 and 1935.
While the Mena Creek Falls maybe slightly smaller than other North Queensland waterfalls like Barron Falls, the 15-metre single-drop waterfall inside Paronella Park is just as spectacular a sight. Walk along the suspension bridge and watch the water cascade over seven-million-year-old basalt rock or navigate your way to the water’s edge to appreciate how impressive this waterfall would have been as a backdrop to the newly built castle as guests spun around the dance floor.
If you look you can see North Queensland's first hydro electric plant, built in 1933 to power the 13 acres (5.3 ha) park. The Paronellas invited everyone to movies on Saturday nights, built tennis courts from crushed termite mounds, and a pavilion with turret-topped balconies, refreshment rooms and changing cubicles for swimmers. Eventually a museum featured a collection of coins, pistols, dolls, timbers and interesting keepsakes.Wanting to buy the new DJI Air 2S? Click on this link and support the channel: [ Ссылка ]
