Paronella Park, Queensland, Australia.
What a stunning place! Jose' Paronella was a spaniard who fell in love with Queensland (how could you not!). Incredibly innovative for his time, introduced power to the area by building a hydropowered pump from the water fall. To celebrate, he would light up the falls at night, then added gardens, a ball room, tennis courts and residence for everyone to enjoy. Destroyed but rebuilt by 3 floods, then devastated by fires, this magic became hidden in this dense forest. The current owners have done an incredible job bringing it back to life, now making it a must visit for anyone passing through.@
