Well here I am at the top of my wonderings. Up in the Daintree I had a personalized trip down the river. Saw several crockadiles and a brown owl sleeping in the tree. It was very peaceful. I was surprised at the amount of cattle farming in this area. I then walk through the Mossman gorge. This was very interesting with tall trees and swimming poles (too cold for me). Today I went to Port Douglas a pretty place and reminded me very much of Broome. It is the...

Tully the wettest town and to prove it we have the Big Golden Gumboot. It is also a town full of back pakers as it is banana country and so they are looking for work. It was central to places I wanted to go to. Drove out to Mission Beach and saw 2 cassowary's on the way. They seem to have recovered well after the cyclone.

I finally managed to do some sight seeing at Castle Hill and the Strand which is a lovely walk around the bay. Al...

This place is really paradise (except for the midgies). The mountains covered is forest vegitation and then the beautiful sea. Yesterday I went out on a yacht sailing to Blue Pearl Bay which was an all coral beach but did some wonderful snorkelling among the fish of all colours and sizes. As there where only 5 of us on the boat, the other 4 came from Abbottford (my brother lives there) the lass took myself and another lady out into the deeper water to see the co...
