Spaniard emigrates to Australia in the 1930s, where he makes a fortune buying and selling cane farms. He then realises his dream by building a castle near a waterfall. Subsequently mother nature has ravaged it somewhat, with floods, cyclones and fires. It must be the only “castle ruin” in Australia. Billed as a “not to be missed” attraction, with promotional material suggesting that it is almost a religious shrine, it struck me as somewhat odd. I think mainly it seemed a clash of aesthetics. A mediterranean design in a tropical setting.
