Port Douglas Bed and Breakfasts - Reviews and Rates

Well we got up this morning and decided to go on a cruise. We'd been thinking about it for a while but hadn't decided when. Got a deal the kids for free which was lucky considering how much the adults cost. It was departing from Cairns so did the trip there and got there just in time. Forgot to pay the parking and realised not long after the boa...

Hey All

So this is my second entry on my blog and also my first week spent at a hostel as my backpacking travels actually begin. Im staying at a hostel called 'Dougies' which is just on the outskirts of Port Douglas town.

We got picked up from Cairns Airport by the Dougies Coach which was a brightly coloured mini bus. Was about a 4...

I would like to start out with a disclaimer. I love Kelly. I mean who doesnt? she is great people. BUT, she is the effing most clumsy person that ever was. Period.

In 2000 when the Olympics were held in Sydney some of the athletes stayed in my room. I wonder if someone famous occupied the bed before me. Every Sunday there is a market by the harbour where locals display their goods. I bought a couple of things. Port Douglas was established in 1877 during the gold rush but later fell into decline. Today it r...

Today was a fantastic experience. Pretty much what I am going to do is let the photos speak for themselves rather than trying to explain what I saw.

We set off, after being asked how we fared w...
