Last dinner at the Tin Shed

​lovely pub meal on our last night, followed by a long game of House, a game Alex taught us at Queenscliff. I finally saw a crocodile in the wild on the way out!!! Stopped at Palm cove on the way home, definitely somewhere to come back to!!

Port Douglas day 5&6

​very relaxing couple of days here

Port Douglas Day 4

​an early start this morning for a private island/reef tour. The lovely Vanessa and her nephew Hayden took us out to Low Isle for the day. Stand up paddle boarding, through the mangroves, snorkeling through coral and beautiful fish. We saw turtles and reef sharks! It was a rocky boat ride over but very calm near the island. The water was so warm, unexpectedly so, and very clear. We wore stinger suits to be safe and had lunch on the small boat. Great day

Port Douglas day 3

​we had the best day out today. Chat GPT gave us a great itinerary for the daintree. We started at Mossman Goirge, did a small hike and ended at the swimming hole. Crystal clear running water. We then travelled north, crossed the river on a barge, and went to a lookout. Went for lunch a a cool little shack. Drive a bit further to a beach - no swimming alllod due to crocs! Kept driving to cape tribulation - a stunning beach - had a nice walk along the beach, making sure we did not go near the waters edge! Tracked back stopping At mason’s watering hole. The most spectacular swimming spot I’ve seen in a long time. Then into an organic ice cream producer, all made from fruit grown on site! The creamiest I’ve ever tasted! Then straight bavk to poet Douglas. Absolutely cracking day down all … except I didn’t see a crocodile! We finished the day with a bbq and wine on the terrace… perfect!
