 I've been a little silent with my travel posts lately. For the last few weeks I’ve been moving slowly through Australia while visiting a friend, it's been a really fun experience. The weather has been a little temperamental but I’ve been able to explore more of Melbourne, also Sydney and the Queensland area where I currently reside and write this article from. While staying near Airlie Beach on the cost of Queensland I rented a car with a friend and we decided to explore this area for the day. First stop was Cedar Creek Falls near Conway Beach in the Whitsunday area. This location is about 30 minutes from Airlie Beach and is a natural fresh waterhole with water falling from the rocks above and trickling on down the stream. Thanks to the heavy rainfall the few days before the waterfall was very powerful, but it didn’t stop me going for a long swim and trying to get under the waterfall itself. It’s amazing the power that nature has and only being up-close to a waterfall like this do you really appreciate it. It’s interesting how you can see a place in a totally different light from when you first arrive. Driving around and having the freedom to explore hidden spots that are a little off the map helps you create a connection and shape your overall impressions of a place. Here are a few pictures that I took of the waterfall and the surrounding streams close to it, it was a nice experience to swim in this natural freshwater and is one that I highly recommend for anyone coming to visit this area. You won't be disappointed.           <hr> More from my Travels in Japan: <a href="https://steemit.com/travel/@oen/exploring-melbourne-a-visit-to-the-tapestry-workshop">Exploring Melbourne - A Visit to the Tapestry Workshop</a> <a href="https://steemit.com/travel/@oen/abstract-rocks-in-wilsons-promontory-national-park-in-victoria-australia">Abstract Rocks in Wilsons Promontory National Park in Victoria, Australia</a> <a href="https://steemit.com/travel/@oen/exploring-los-angeles-a-visit-to-the-neutra-vdl-research-house">Exploring Los Angeles - A Visit to the Neutra VDL Research House</a> <a href="https://steemit.com/travel/@oen/exploring-wilsons-promontory-national-park-in-victoria-australia">Exploring Wilsons Promontory National Park in Victoria, Australia</a> <a href="https://steemit.com/travel/@oen/exploring-los-angeles-a-visit-to-the-getty-centre-and-museum">Exploring Los Angeles - A Visit to the Getty Centre and Museum</a> <a href="https://steemit.com/travel/@oen/exploring-los-angeles-a-visit-to-stahl-house-by-pierre-koenig">Exploring Los Angeles - A Visit to the Stahl House by Pierre Koenig</a> <hr> Please follow me for more interesting art, design and travel content <a href="https://steemit.com/@oen">@oen</a> :) [//]:# (!steemitworldmap -20.405513 lat 148.710565 long Exploring Queensland - Cedar Creek Falls d3scr)
