BEDTIME STORY: Paronella Park 13 May 2026

🌴 We wander into one of Australia’s most enchanting and mysterious places, the dreamlike world of Paronella Park. Built by Spanish immigrant José Paronella beside a rushing waterfall in the Queensland rainforest, this remarkable castle was created from love, longing, determination and impossible dreams. Candlelit ballrooms, secret tunnels, grand staircases and gardens glowing in the tropical night became part of a vision that seemed almost too magical to exist. But behind the beauty was heartbreak, floods, fire, loss and a man who simply refused to stop building hope into the wilderness. Join Cheralyn Darcey for a flowing Nightline Bedtime Story about devotion, resilience and the extraordinary power of imagination before sleep. 🌙See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
