Just an hour or so north of Cairns is Mossman. You've probably heard of Mossman Gorge. We didn't visit this time... if it was warmer we might have revisited but it was too cold for a swim so let it go.
We stayed at Mossman Golf Course for three nights for $27 per night.
We crossed on the Daintree Ferry and went up to Cape Tribulation for the day. Glad we did... this area had 4m of rain in 4 days on the back of Cyclone Jasper in December 2023. The land slides are enormous and will it likely take years to completely repair the roads to 100%. 20 kilometres of stop/go one lane traffic lights makes it slow going.
They're working hard to open the last part of the road north at the Bloomfield River but until that's done, we'll have to head south to get to Cooktown via the inland route tomorrow when we go.
Cape Tribulation was just as we remembered it.
One thing that HAD changed significantly was a resort at Coconut Beach just south of Cape Trib. In the past we've been there for a swim and a drink, but now it's abandoned and being swallowed by the tropical jungle.

Wow that’s a lot of $$ done the gurgles, shame.
