Paronella Park.

Went to Paronella Park yesterday, and included in the price of the tickets was a night in the caravan park. So parked up our camper trailer, and went to see this place.
The man who built this place back in the early 1930's must have been a workaholic. Jose Paronella was a Spanish immigrate who had a dream to have his own castle. It was built as a tourist park, from the beginning, and despite a few knocks back, is once again operating as a tourist destination.
It is really worth a visit, even PJ was impressed with the hydro system that was installed in 1935, and then finally the machinery was restored in 2008/2009 and is now producing power for all their needs and selling the rest back to the main grid.
There are stone stair ways, paths, seats, tables, just everywhere.
Here are a couple of photos that I got. We did the night tour as well, but the photos weren't the best.
