Cape Tribulation and Port Douglas

On December 20th I was on a day trip with Jungle Tours to the Wildlife Habitat in Port Douglas. After the trip there we drove up to Cape Tribulation, where the rainforest meets the ocean.
The beach is deserted, and it's not possible to swim there because of the stingers during this time of the year.
Creeks and waters are also inhabited by Saltwater Crocodiles, so I really kept my eyes open at all times when I walked around up there.

Cape Tribulation, where the rainforest meets the ocean. Swimming is not possible because of the stingers, so the beach is basically deserted. A bit south from this point there are also some saltwater crocodiles, so not a very usefull beach really.

Cairns, Tropical Queensland

Now I'm back in Cairns after the dive trip, the plan is to see Cape Tribulation and Port Douglas before I head south direction Brisbane for Christmas and New Year.

While I was in Cairns I spent 4 days on a liveaboard dive boat, the rest of the days I spent at the Lagoon reading books and listening to some concerts sponsored by the city council in Cairs. One day there was a great country band and the next a reggea band.

The famous Lagoon in the city centre of Cairns, this is basically one of the only attractions Cairns has.
