Latitude 16 Beaches Port Douglas

... we saw 4-another good tour. The crocs really looked so old and from the dinasor time. Was a good tour.<br>The second stop was to Mosman gorge which is basically a river in the middle of woods with huge boulders in it. We didnt stay long-just wanted to see it as its recommended on our bible-lonely planet.<br>So off we set for Port Douglas which is a rich resort area in Oz. Unfortunately we wouldnt be living it up there but we decided to stay for 2 nights!!

... br><br>Fresh Coconut anyone ?? <br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>And then it was back to the marina. Now very hot and bothered. However we followed up on the 3rd sign we had seen ..."Fresh Cooked Tiger Prawns"!! Sold cooked straight off the boat. Jill did the honours buys a good sized bag of ...

... beeindruckt. Leider haben wir ihn aber (bisher) nicht gesehen. An den Wallaman Falls stand ein Schild, was einen 2km langen Weg runter zu dem &#8222;Pool des Wasserfalls&#8220; ausschilderte. Die tiefe Schlucht ließ schon erahnen, dass diese 2km runter nicht sehr einfach werden würden. Mit Flip Flops sind wir den Weg runter gehopst (Dirk hat ständig wegen dem unangebrachten Schuhwerk genörgelt). Der Weg runter war anstrengend, wurde aber mit einer schönen Sicht belohnt. Am ...

... for like 2 nights down the coast!!!<br><br>Cairns is wicked i love it here great nightlife and we have a lagoon which is really cool loads of shops and its always at least 30degrees!! Really nice and not sure when i am leaving yet! I had a free day trip which i went on and saw some waterfalls and went swimming twice in the lakes/waterfalls i have turned into a bit of a waterbaby out here! Then i went to Cape Tribulation which was really cool as we went ...

... called Port Douglas - I think we all feel a great sense of relief that all the long drives are over and that we can just stay here and chill for a while. Tomorrow we are booked on a tour to go and see the infamous 'Great Barrier Reef', the tour takes us to 3 locations where we spend some time snorkelling (and we'll possibly squeeze in a little scuba dive?!) The weather (or rather, the cloud which has been following us up the East Coast), has gotten a ...

... we found our way to PK's Jungle Resort, it was really just a mega hostel and campground. The shared dorm was a bit odd, but we made friends with our bunkmates. Rachel and I wandered out to the beautiful beach, in search of the big Cape Trib attraction. We never did find it, instead we were just met with beach, lush rainforest, and a feeling that some random creature was out to get us. We had the blue ocean ...

... to end a really fabulous day. Next day we got a transfer back to Cairnes, and spent 9.30am - 4.30pm at the airport. We didn't want to carry our bags round town all day, so we got the transfer straight there, and unfortunately, that meant sitting in a terminal. The hours actually flew by, and it was quite a fun day. You know you're with true friends when you can spend 7 straight together, with no entertainment to speak of, and still have fun.

... so we quickly went on our way to Mossman's Gorge. Which was FANTASTIC! It was so hot and muggy out and the water was so nice and cool. Sebastian and I went for a dip in the water while poor Ricardo did some photography. Envious of our obvious enjoyment... We made it up to the cape about 1.5 hours later after travelling at breakneck speed (maybe 50k/hr) around hair pin turns. The resort is nice, wouldn't pay the full amount to stay here though ...

... sting is beyond excruciatingly painful and can potentially kill you. We stay for the next two days at the Coconut Beach Resort in Cape Tribluation. We are warned to watchout for stingers in the water and stay away from the river systems as there are crocodiles everywhere. Between the stingers, crocs and all the poisonous snakes, insects and spiders...it is a wonder anyone survives their visits here. Immediately upon arrival at Cape Tribulation, Evy ...

... Reef but who unwittingly lets his guard down for a moment and utters &#8220;bin Laden&#8221; instead of &#8220;Smith&#8221; or &#8220;Jones&#8221; when handing over his boarding pass. <br><br>The ninety minute trip was filled with a video presentation on the array of coral and fish we were likely to see as well as the opportunity to talk to a real life marine biologist on board. Back when I was at school it seemed every second kid wanted to be a ...
