Mossman to Palm Cove

Time to head south again, via Mossman we drove
To the beautiful holiday village known as Palm Cove.
Staying at the luxurious Mango Lagoon 4 pool resort
30 minutes from Cairns with efficient public transport.

Through the range behind, a road does meander
To an ex hippie tourist village named Kuranda.
Here the Barron River flows over rocks and drops
Chance to see koalas, butterflies and a few shops.

Went to Cooya Beach via Port Douglas, just us four
To experience the Kaku Yalanji indigenous culture tour.
Viewed artefacts created from seashells and seeds
Squelched through the mud flats as the tide recedes.

Learnt to throw a spear, hunt and gather food
Clambering over mangroves a satisfying mood.
De-husking coconuts ensure nothing goes to waste
A spicy turtle and periwinkle soup we got to taste.Read more
