Thursday morning we left Cooktown, had hoped to get away around the 8am mark, but by the time everyone has a chat while you are hooking up it was a little after 9am before we left. Travelling back we stopped at the Black Mountain Lookout, this imposing mountain range is massive granite boulders and also marks the end of northern end of the Wet Tropics World Heritage Area. Further along the road we had another stop to take some pictures of the ranges in the distance and it was the last of the steep descents until Mt Molloy.
Stopping at Mt Molloy pub for lunch, then it was time to descend the steep twisty mountain that required using 2nd and 3rd gear and boosting up the caravan brakes then it's out onto the Captain Cook Hwy and onto the Glengarry Big 4 Caravan Park which is about 8klm from Port Douglas, we are staying here until Saturday. This morning we went into Port Douglas and had a walk up the main shopping drag, Bazza then set his sights on a Coffee and of course a slice of cheesecake.
Tomorrow (Saturday) we are off down to Cairns and will be staying there for a 2 week rest, and will also catch up with Pauline, Les, Carlene and Rex.
