Paronella park a place just so amazing. The Spanish gent who built it worked 13 years on sugar cane farms to make his money then bought the 13 acres of land and built by hand his own castle. There is just soo much to see that it is not possible to tell it all here but you can visit their web site and read. The gentleman died in 1948 and the place already had its own hydo electric power while the hotel down the road was still using candles. His granddaughter was married in the grounds just a few years ago. We stayed here for two days and explored extensively.

Rare micr bats found in the grounds in the tunnel of love.

A glimpse of the castle illuminated at night with fountains powered by the river.

An early breakfast for two by the lake with the natural waterfall in the background. The lake continues as a river and is full of snapping Turtles, giant eels and well developed sooty grunter fish.
