Bloomfield Falls
We set off early this morning (well –holidays early … about
8.30am) to drive to Bloomfield Falls. Bloomfield is only about 35 kilometres
north of Cape Tribulation (where we were last Wednesday) but the road between
the two is 4WD only – so we had to drive down from Cooktown to be able to view
these magnificent falls. Needless to say Darryl had a wonderful time
photographing them even though we were there at midday which apparently is not
ideal for photography.

On the drive to Bloomfield we visited the Wujal Wujal art
gallery and stopped off at the famous Lion’s Den hotel for a drink. (Apparently
you HAVE to stop at the Lion’s Den … it is almost mandatory for all tourists!)
The Lion’s Den Hotel is famous for all the writing all over the walls, clothes
which people have left hanging around etc. They also have a small museum of artefacts
from the old mine etc. including some specimens of snakes and spiders in jars.
The Houdini spider had Merril a little concerned … the bottle looked empty!
