Port Douglas QLD

My new happy place and the northernmost destination of our trip (day trips excepted)! ☀️🌴

A very short drive this morning had us arriving in Port Douglas and checking into the BIG 4 Glengarry Holiday Park by late morning.

The drive up the Captain Cook Highway had Great Ocean Road vibes, but with palm trees and much warmer weather!

After an early lunch, we all made the most of what the boys have declared to be the best caravan park pool and waterslides ever. Tall, fast and best of all no queues. The pool itself was a very pleasant 28°. Perfect 👌

Walking along Port Douglas' main street later in the day we stumbled across a Coffin Bay Oyster vending machine. What’s more, the lady stacking it was the original owner of Oysters HQ in Coffin Bay SA itself and was the creator of the first amazing seafood platter we had there in 2025. She was as disappointed as we were to hear that our return visit earlier this year hadn't quite lived up to the memory.

We spent the rest of the afternoon exploring the heart of Port Douglas before finishing the day with a spectacular hot and cold seafood platter at the Tin Shed overlooking Trinity Bay, watching all the incoming reef tour boats trying to spot the one we’ll be heading out on tomorrow.

Positive vibes for another beautiful day 🥰Read more
