Across the Daintree

Today it was farewell to Palm Cove as we headed north to Cape Tribulation. Palm Cove was great but our stay was really too short.

When we started planning this holiday, we grabbed an opportunity to go back to the Cape Trib Exotic Fruit Farm B&B where we had stayed briefly three years ago. There was only one block of nights left so we ended up with two short periods either side and that is how we ended up at Palm Cove for a few nights. Next time we will definitely stay longer.

As Cape Trib is only a couple of hours up the coast, we had plenty of time to get there. So instead of going straight there, we drove up the range to Kuranda. First stop was the Barron Falls before going into town for lunch. Kuranda was crazy with tourists which I think is the only way it ever is.

With lunch out of the way it was time to set off. Instead of going straight back down the way we came up, we headed off on a slightly longer way via Mareeba and Mount Molloy. From there it was down the range to Mossman and on to the Daintree River ferry.

Once we were across the river, it was a twisty drive up through the rain forest to Cape Trib and our B&B. We are all settled in and looking forward to the next few days relaxing in amongst the World Heritage listed rain forest.
