Daintree, Cape Tribulation & Cooktown. QLD.

Mossman was our base for a few days, whilst we did Cape Tribulation. I was on the hunt for a Cassowary and crocodile's for Jane & Glen. Unfortunately we didn't see either, still the scenery was spectacular and we had a great time.

We saw dusky Rat Kangaroo's, however I wasn't quick enough with the camera. This was on the Marrja botanical walk.

The Daintree ferry carries a maximum of 27 vehicle's.

We did two cruises on the Daintree River and it was really pretty. $25 each.

The road to Cooktown.

Pretty,

We took a Dee-tour to the icon pub - The Lions Den. Where the boys got a beer and the lucky ladies got to make lunch.

Cattle near the Lions Den. Look at that for a set of horns.

Black Mountain. 

Loved Cooktown the first time and still love it the second time, just has a great feel to it.
The Sovereign Resort had a band on (Clam Sandwich) on Friday night, so we went for a evenings entertainment.

The new Cooktown foreshore looks fabulous.

Love it!
