           The Temple
           Nestled into the Iron Range hillside with a stunning panoramic
           view of the Coral Sea, ‘The Temple’ was originally built as an
           emplacement for a 155mm gun turret, part of the Australian
           Military's front-line defence against invading Japanese forces
           during WWII.

           Nowadays it’s a holiday stay destination catering to all the
           modern comforts and conveniences the weary Cape York
           traveller could desire. The minute you reach the top of the
           driveway and step out you know you’re in a very special place.
           Kick back and relax and ‘let the adventure begin’!
