We left the Daintree early. We almost had a stowaway, a lost dog tried unsuccessfully to enter our campervan. After some mucking around, unable to find the owner we convinced a shop keeper to look after her. So with dog sorted we hit the road for Cooktown. First stop was Mount Carbine. Let's say it consists of a pub and fuel station … that is it. There are two ways to Cooktown, the coastal route and the inland route. We could not take the coastal route becaus...

So today, we had an easy and lazy day. We didn't start too early. We made the trip to Cape Tribulation. I must admit there isn't much there, I was expecting a bit more. Apart from some tours companies and a couple of camping sites, all there is are beaches or very expensive tours ….. but I have to say the beaches are really beautiful. The water was warm and was perfect and we very much enjoyed walking the whole length of the beach in the shallow water. We sho...

Today we went deep into the Daintree. We first visited Daintree village. It is very small. We then took the car ferry across to Cape Tribulation. I liked the car ferry. We soon arrived at the Daintree Discovery Centre. The centre has five tours you can take. They give you a phone looking thing that lets you listen to information during the walk. · Tour 1 - Walkway. · Tour 2 - Canopy Tower. · Tour 3 - Cassowary Tour · Tour 4 - ...

Today was travelling day. We said farewell to Big4 Coconut Resort. We will miss this place, it was great and in itself was a destination. So today we headed north. Our first stop was Port Douglas. It took us longer than expected as we stopped so many times to either soak in the views or take some shots. It was such a beautiful drive. Port Douglas on the other hand was kind of 'ok'. You often hear about Port Douglas, everyone has, but we don't know what all the f...

Today is my father's birthday and he is a legend, however, we started early again. So, we went to Green Island to snorkel today. The island is actually a coral cay - which means it is made out of coral. We started the tour with a 45 minutes boat road to the island. After a quick hot drink we had a tour of the reef on a glass bottom boat. The guide told us about the different corals that we can see and the different fishes we will probably see later when we snork...
