Category: Life in Paluma

Last Saturday (4th August) Paluma was part of a ‘Mystery Tour’ run by the Sunshine Coast company, Sinclair Tour and Travel. A group of 31 happy travellers stopped in at the Rainforest Inn for morning tea which included scones, caramel tarts and other treats made by Jennie and Neil. The group is enjoying a 5-day tour of North Queensland having visited Mackay, Airlie Beach, Townsville and now Paluma.

Peter Sinclair, the organiser and owner of the tour company, admitted that this was his first visit to Paluma after having driven past the turn-off on the Bruce Highway many times since the 1970’s. The group enjoyed their visit and noted that the highlights were the beautiful drive up the Range Road, the cool mountain air and the delicious caramel tarts! Peter says that now he has discovered Paluma he will certainly come back.
