To dodge a couple of
weeks of Melbourne's winter
Margaret, I and Naomi flew to Cairns in far north Queensland.
(Ben
joined us for the second week). After leaving early on a dark, drizzly
Melbourne morning (30th June 1996)
and after about 4 hours of jet
flights we arrived on a lovely 25 degC Cairns afternoon.
We hired a twincab utility (pickup truck) and camping equipment. Our base was at Ellis Beach about 30 Km. north of Cairns.
About 150 km north of Cairns is the Daintree National Park (a World Heritage Area). Cape Tribulation in this National Park contains some virtually untouched beaches. |
