The Daintree Rainforest, Cape Trib

Slow start today (Wed?) as neither of us slept well and we were all over the shop in terms of organisation. We eventually get our shit together and managed to check out the beach right next to our site. Stunning, we had heard every breaking wave whilst in the camper.

We packed up (which for two newbies takes a while) and eventually ended up in a queue for a small ferry (like the Sandbanks one) to go across to Cape Tribulation. On the other side the road was very twisty turny for any vehicle, let alone ours. Great driving from Col - I closed my eyes several times when oncoming traffic looked bigger than the space available 😳

Cape Trib is stunning. The beaches are pristine and empty - apart from people like us of course. It’s really out on a limb, takes some effort to get here but glad we did.

We see a small shoal of tiny fishies in the shallow ocean, worm ‘spaghetti’, hear the exotic calls of unseen birds and the constant hum of insects, singing in unison.

Once back on our site, we are just a teeny bit better organised than the night before, and manage dinner at a reasonable time!Read more
