Saturday – Daintree to Port Douglas

This morning we checked out of our rainforest hideaway and started the journey south, retracing our steps along the Captain Cook Highway.  First stop was at Alexandra Range Lookout, which offered amazing views across the Daintree River mouth, and the Barrier Reef.

We caught the Daintree Ferry back into the land where modern forms of communication work (we have not had mobile phone signal or internet the whole time we have been in the rainforest…so apologies for not being in touch!!).  And, then travelled to Mossman Gorge, a stunning gorge with huge boulders in a clear freshwater river.

We then drove the short distance to Port Douglas, and visited the lookout at the top of town, which had amazing views of the coast looking towards Cairns and 4 mile beach.

We then checked in at out hostel Port O’Call Lodge and spent the afternoon chilling out in our air conditioned room.
