Cairns & Cooktown (5th - 9th July)

Arrived in Cairns and set up camp at Reggie's (and Zach & Ella's) place in Kewarra Beach. During dinner we firmed up our plans for the next few days... a trip up to Cooktown via Mossman Gorge & Cape Tribulation, and then a day out on Reggie's boat to Michaelmas Cay.

It was a rough old ride through Cape Tribulation

We arrived in Cooktown late and as we left the caravan in Cairns we needed to find a couple of rooms... everything was booked out however we were lucky to get the last 2 rooms at "The Top Pub".

Once we arrived back in Cairns, we jumped aboard the "Ocean Spirit" for a trip out to Michaelmas Cay in the Great Barrier Reef.
