Port Douglas
Happy Birthday Sharon! (and Merril) We spent today at Port Douglas and then
Mossman Gorge.
The owners of the caravan park recommended a café at Port
Douglas. What a superb choice. We were a bit hesitant at first as Merril had
her heart set on seafood … but wow .. this was the best café / restaurant we
have ever been to. Darryl ordered the sous vide beef fillet which he declared
was the best steak he has ever had! (As a steak man … that is a huge
compliment.) He had the biggest grin the whole time he was enjoying his meal.
Merril chose the Creole Jambalaya with prawns, squid, smoked chicken and
crocodile sausage as she wanted to try something a bit different. It was also
very tasty. Although we were very full, we found room for dessert and were so
glad we did. They were spectacular! If you are ever up this way – make sure you
make a booking for the Salsa café. You will not be disappointed.

From there we visited Mossman Gorge. A beautiful area
however it was quite commercial. It was very restricted where you could walk
which is obviously to protect the environment, but it did mean that photo
opportunities were also restricted. They had a couple of incredible suspension
bridges along the walk (which Merril found quite difficult to cross as they
gave her vertigo.) While walking Darryl got the fright of his life as he almost
stepped on a black snake which was slithering across the path!

This is our last day in Mossman / Port Douglas area. We head
off tomorrow for Cooktown.
