To Port Douglas
28. august 2022, Australien ⋅ 🌧 24 °C
About 40 minutes to our accommodation at Port Douglas, so glad we have an airbnb for 2 nights, the rain is not great. We're staying in a privately owned room within the Ramada Resort with a pool view. Once we eventually got our luggage into the room it was shower time, we were soaking wet and cold from the rain. We freshened up and had dinner at the resort's restaurant. It was well worth it, I had the prawn capellini and Ben had the steak and veg. Soooo gooood! We stuck around for a few then headed up to recharge.Læs mere

Mossman Gorge
29. august 2022, Australien ⋅ ☁️ 22 °C
Had a bit of a sleep in this morning, the tent is pretty comfortable, dont get me wrong, but a king bed with fresh sheets, oooh. This morning we grabbed fuel then headed to Mossman Gorge, only about 20 minutes away. It's set up very nicely, a big visitor information centre and Cafe, shuttle buses to run you into the gorge as well. It's very different to the other gorges we've seen this trip. We decided to do all of the tracks, a few shorter ones to the gorge itself, a creek and the rainforest loop track. Only a few kms. It was pretty humid on the bigger track, but so green and pretty. A few people were braving the water at certain points to have a swim despite the warning signs, not croc related at least. We got the shuttle back to the visitor centre and headed off.Læs mere

Port Douglas
29. august 2022, Australien ⋅ ☁️ 24 °C
We headed right into Port Douglas for lunch at the Tin Shed. A popular spot, we grabbed a buzzer to alert us when a table was available and headed up to the bar. It didn't take long and we were seated for lunch. We got the spring rolls, crocodile, barramundi and prawn, strange but tasty! We also got the seafood basket and fish burger to share. Since the rain was holding up, we went upto the lookout and lighthouse. I'm sure it would be nicer on a sunny day, but it was still good to see. Four Mile Beach is patrolled which surprised us, we didn't think they encouraged any beach swimming up this way at all. The lighthouse was in a bizarre spot, right between 2 houses. Went for a walk through the the shops and found Mocka's bakery. There are a lot of signs around about them being award winning and their menu is quite extensive. It was about an hour before they shut but we thought we'd try our luck anyway. No dice on the Reuben or some of the others we had our eye on, but we got a kangaroo pie and a supreme pie, verrry good. Back to then resort for a quick nap and shower. Then the rain started up again when we were thinking about a swim, people were still happily swimming about but we just weren't feeling it. Dinner at the resort again, steak and Barramundi, another great feed. Watching a movie before bed. We check out tomorrow and head to Etty Bay.Læs mere

Babinda Boulders
30. august 2022, Australien ⋅ ☁️ 22 °C
After checking out of Ramada we headed back to Mocka's to see if they had more options to try. Ben got the croc pie and the steak and Bacon, I had a quiche, sooo good. On the road to Cairns to dan murphys for a little stock up before heading to Babinda. We did the Devils pool walk to Babinda boulders, lovely but humid. The legend says that a young woman and man from different tribes fell in love but weren't able to stay together, so the woman threw herself in the water which became a torrent. They say her spirit is still there, enticing men to come in and join her. There have been many drownings here. We stopped in at Babinda bakery on the way out, we had heard that it's good and the big line up of people would confirm that. Just another pie each, it seems we're now on a pie/bakery tour of the east coast.Læs mere

Josephine Falls
30. august 2022, Australien ⋅ 🌧 21 °C
The weather wasn't playing nice so we decided to head for our next campsite at Etty Bay instead of doing the skywalk. We did spot a sign to Josephine falls on the way, so decided to duck in. Another nice walk. The water levels are quite high, it looks like you can usually swim in parts when it's low enough.Læs mere

Etty Bay
30. august 2022, Australien ⋅ ☁️ 22 °C
A quick stop at Innisfail woolworths then off to the campsite. The weather was crap and the staff thought we had a tent, and yet we were given one of the muddiest spots. Weren't thrilled about that but glad we have the rooftop and not the swag. It started pouring down and the mozzies were awful, so we just sat in the car, having a few drinks and snacks and watched netflix.
Etty Bay seems to just be the caravan park and surf club, very small but nice, despite the awful weather. Their hashtag is #WhereTheCassowariesRoamFree, so hopefully we'll spot one tomorrow.Læs mere

CASSOWARIES!
31. august 2022, Australien ⋅ ⛅ 22 °C
Had a few too many last night, so not feeling fab.. BUT! As we were driving out of Etty Bay, we came around a corner and saw the car ahead of us with their hazard lights on, stopped in the middle of the road. We quickly realised why! A dad and it's chick cassowary! Unreal to see wild ones!Læs mere

Paronella Park
31. august 2022, Australien ⋅ ⛅ 22 °C
A quick maccas stop before heading to our first destination, Paronella Park. Luckily the weather is much nicer today. The park was built by a Spanish man who dreamt of a fairytale castle to live in after hearing stories from his grandmother. So after working incredibly hard, moving to Australia, working harder again and saving his money, he bought the land and started building. It was so bizarre but a fantastic spot. Just a bunch of Spanish castles and buildings in a rainforest. We went on the included half an hour walking tour where we heard more about Jose's story, before heading off on our own. There were plaques on the grand staircase showing flood levels over the years, there have been some big ones! So many wonderful spots and very photogenic. You get 2 years entry with your ticket, so if we're in the area again in that time, we'll definitely be back.Læs mere

Mamu Skywalk
31. august 2022, Australien ⋅ ⛅ 22 °C
Next we headed to the Mamu Skywalk that we skipped yesterday, you can get a package deal ticket for here and Paronella. This is the highest rainforest observation tower in Qld. The lady let us know that it was a decent walk at 2.2km return. I think we'll be okay, despite the hangover. It was very flat too. We went out onto the cantilever which Ben bounced of course. Walked along the raised platform to the 37m high tower. 100 steps up and the views were amaaazing. We sat for a little bit before heading back.Læs mere

To Cardwell
31. august 2022, Australien ⋅ ⛅ 20 °C
On the road for a little bit, we stopped at Tully for Subway and to see the golden gumboot. We didn't realise it was also an award for the wettest town in Australia, between Babinda, Innisfail and Tully. The boot is the height of their highest rainfall total one year at 7.9m. Back on the road to Cardwell, our next stop. Such a lovely caravan park. We parked right next to the camp kitchen which is very well stocked and makes it nice and easy. We did spot that there was a restaurant with beach views though and happy hour at 4:30. Once set up, I decided on a nap and Ben got a few things organised before going to happy hour. I joined him at the end and we went for a walk along the beach. The menu at Beachcombers looked good, so we decided not to cook tonight afterall. We shared a seafood marinara gnocchi and the duck, very good! Just the usual tonight, load of washing, showers and netflix. On to Townsville tomorrow to another airbnb.Læs mere
