Left Cairns at 7am for the trip up to Cape tribulation. During the day we visited Mossman Gorge, did a short walk through the rain forest and went on a river cruise looking for crocodiles. We were lucky to see a newly hatched croc as well as a full grown male known as scar face (it had scars on its face!). I stayed in a hostel called Crocadyllus for a couple of nights. It was set in the middle of the rain forest and surrounded by all kinds of trees and wildlife ie gekkos in the toilets and a forest dragon on the tree outside my room. The beach was just down the road from the hostel and I spent a morning there with Larry a local dog who followed me all morning. Nice to get back amongst nature after spending time in the cities.
Next I go back to Cairns for a couple of days then take a 30 hour bus journey to Brisbane where I will start my conservation work. Looking forward to that but could do without the bus journey.
