Day 9

Need to move forward 12 hours

So it was out with civilisation today and onto camping times as we left the Cairns Pullman hotel and headed to the Jucy outlet in town to pick up our van. After a long time and long story we ended up rolling away in a four person van, although judging by the issues we have found with space in it, four people would seem optimistic.

First stop as ever was the supermarket, but we en headed north, up towards the Daintree rainforest where we visit Bruce Belcher and his crocodile riverboat cruise. Sadly as its mating season, there weren't too many big mummy and daddy crocs for us to see, but we saw threes. Total, two yearlings and a three year old.

We then headed south again, to Mossman gorge, where we managed to swim in a really nice cooling freshwater river. Absolutely lovely! Really refreshing stuff, that helped keep us cool all the way to a Palm Cove where we were staying the night via Port Douglas.

After a lot of messing and unpacking we had some dinner, fish and chips for me, before finally heading back to the van to try and get some sleep before the reef...part 2!
