QF702 to cairns Oliver sat with me and Tom Sam and David were in the row behind. A good flight for all. The humidity hit us with a force in Cairns and our bags were off quickly and picked up a pajero from Avis. Went to woolworths at Smithfield for breakfast and provisions. Then onto Mossman for lunch at Goodies Cafe. Crossed the daintree river at 3:30pm and drove up to the lookout.

All good journeys start with good preparation. The tickets have been purchased, the accomodation booked and confirmed and the light summer clothes and swimmers removed from moth balls and aired before they are placed in travel bags.
