22 August Cooktown

22 August
Cooktown

Today was a quiet day spent looking around Cooktown.  There is a lovely art gallery in town which we visited (Kuku Bulkaway) which features aboriginal art. We would have loved to have bought one piece which was in blues and greens featuring cassowaries. For some reason, even though Darryl loved it, he wouldn’t let Merril buy it! It may have been the $2000 price tag? It would have looked superb in our entry. <Sigh>


On Alison’s recommendation, we went on a sunset cruise. Wow – how lovely. So relaxing. It was a small intimate cruise with only 10 people. It was like going on a boat trip with a friend rather than a tour. What a lovely way to spend an evening. The tour guide explained some history of the area while cruising around. We spotted a crocodile – although no opportunity to photograph him as he dived into the water as we approached. After watching the sun setting over the beach, we enjoyed a lovely cheese platter while anchored in 2 mile creek.
