If you want to tie the knot surrounded by lush rainforests and soothing waterfalls, look no further than Paronella Park in Mena Creek, 15 minutes from Innisfail. In 1935, a Spanish cane farmer made his dream to build a castle for his wife a reality. Over the years, the Spanish-style castle has been ravaged by natural disasters, but today its ruins still stand opulently against the rainforest background and are the highlight of Paronella Park. Paronella Park is now heritage listed and remains an eco-friendly wedding location where history and romance combine, featuring a grand staircase, the Tunnel of Love, lakeside bridges, winding walking paths and gardens.
