Oh Yes we get a lot of cruise ships come into Port Douglas and on this one was Baz, Jodie, Mary-Anne, Tony etc. Plus Ricky whom lives in Cairns. It was great to catch up with some South Australians & have a few beers.  




Next we head back to Mossman Gorge to see it in the wet & yes it was raining!!!

Pretty little stream.


Just colourful.

The water is definitely flowing now.
 

Nice.
