Cairns, Daintree and Cape Tribulation

Down the range from Mareeba to Cairns. In Cairns we are catching up with M&D and niece Pahge and family.

Next day despite the rain we headed to Daintree. The rain is not cold so off we went.

Wet wet wet was our trip through the Daintree to Cape Tribulation.

The rainforest takes on a completely different character when it is raining. Dark but still more beautiful with misty mountains full fast flowing creeks and around every corner is a new waterfall.

After a very wet walk through the discovery centre. Where Nanny wisely decided to stay dry at the coffee shop. We headed for the cape.

Upon arriving at the cape and the weather indifferent we wandered to the beach. The rain forest gave way to a mangrove forest then a windswept beach. A flock of little sandpiper birds fed happily on the receding tide.

Lunch at the Ice Creamery and onto the ferry and back to Cairns.Meer informatie
