.It's been a long while since I was in Gordonvale (24 km south of Cairns), but this looks like a trooper who has climbed to the top of the highest spot there - the top of the Mulgrave Central Mill. When the mill operated in the 'crush' season, a not entirely pleasant sugary smell would waft downwind.

The parachute packing shed was built, literally, adjacent to the railway tracks, opposite the mill. 

In the background is "Walsh's Pyramid" which rises steeply to 922 m - not part of a mountain range, it is the highest free-standing peak in the world - and a magnet for 503d troopers, for fitness and punishment. At the foot of the Pyramid are cane fields.

The 503d called Gordonvale "home" from December 1942 to September 1943, and came to regard the area as a very pleasant home indeed.
