Cooktown - Mareeba
It was time to leave Cooktown. This is certainly a lovely town that we hope to come back and visit again.
While on the sunset cruise, the tour guide mentioned a patisserie which we HAD to try before we left. They were closed Tuesday and Wednesday so this morning was our last chance. My goodness ... what a great patisserie. Better than any we have found in Brisbane! How we wish we had known about it earlier so we could sample some of their other tempting items.

We have decided to stay at Mareeba for the next few days and travel from there to Cairns. We were hoping to be able to stay closer and have less of a drive each way but the accommodation in Cairns and surrounding areas sounds terrible and incredibly expensive (aroun $50 per night for a caravan site!) There is the Cairns festival AND the Mareeba festival on this weekend so finding accommodation was difficult so we have ended up in the Rodeo Grounds at Mareeba. They are busy and a bit dusty but the amenities are clean and it is very cheap at only $18 night, so we will stay here to tour around the area.
