Cape Tribulation

Another busy day followed as John's dad hired a car and we drove up the coast to Cape Tribulation. We stopped at a Heritage Cantre in Mossman called Kuku Yalanji and saw some cool Aboriginal art. John also had a swim in the Mossman River, the water was so clear you could see all the fish swimming around. We spent a few hours walking around the national park & rainforest. We then headed up the coast and across the croc infested Daintree River via a small ferry to the Cape. Cape Tribulation is a World Heritage area and the beach there is one of the most impressive things we've seen so far. The rainforest actually ends at the beach and is one of the only places in the world where rainforest and reef are in such close proximity. With a Mrs Mac's pie each and some local Daintree icecream, a great day was rounded off nicely!

A lazy day was planned for the next day and, as it turned out, we had no real choice in the matter as it bucketted down with rain almost all day. We had a night bus to catch that evening so after a teary goodbye with Carol & Ian we headed 700km down the coast to Airlie Beach.

So that's where John gets it from...
