On Saturday, we had a wonderful visit to Paronella Park, not far from Mission Beach.
In 1929, Jose Paronella, a Spanish immigrant, bought 13 acres at Mena Creek and started to build his dream.....a castle. He not only built his castle by a spectacular waterfall but also a picnic area, tennis courts, a tunnel of Love, a house for his family, bridges, a hydro-electric plant , refreshment rooms, changing rooms, fountains, movie theatre, icecream parlour, a ballroom....the list goes on.
Now it is a place of fairytales mirroring a dream that came true.
Skin loved discovering the secret nooks and crannies of the buildings and looking at the waterfall.
What a fabulous day!
