Wonga Beach 22nd - 24th July

Day 15 (21^st July 2007) – Day 18 (24^th July 2007)

Stopped at Atherton to do a spot of shopping before heading into Wonga Beach Caravan Park. The park is lovely and quiet and right on the beach. There are peacocks wandering about and the setting is really tropical. There is rain during the night but during the days it is warm & sunny. Sunday was Barry’s birthday and we managed to have a bit of fruit cake with a candle in it to celebrate. As soon as we can get to a “Bunnings” I will buy his present!!!! Went down to Mossman Gorge for a walk up to the lookout, also called in to see what was happening at the Mossman Show – nothing much so we continued on. When we got back to the Caravan Park Maree, Paul and myself went for a swim in the pool while Barry had a snooze. Quite cold when you first get in, but after a while lovely. I am starting to get a bit of a suntan at last thank goodness. Today, Tuesday 24^th we all went up to Daintree to go on a river cruise. Got some good pictures of a crocodile on the side of the bank and some birds. The tour guide was really interesting to listen to and quite informative. Barramundi again for dinner tonight, we bought a lot at Karumba from a fishing co-op and it is beautiful. I still have prawns in the freezer from the same place. Planning on being thoroughly sick to death of seafood before I get back home. Paul is going on a fishing charter on Thursday, so we are all hoping that he catches a bag full as well. There is also a picture there of Barry getting into a coconut. Maree and Barry picked them up and after Barry opened them we drank the milk and then ate the flesh – Yummy……………
