Awoke; always a good thing. Ablutions all round (including Honey). Satellite TV news, cool. Only took 3 minutes to set it up last night. Guess I must have it figured. We have decided on 3 or 4 alternate plans…
Next stop at the Palmer river Roadhouse – an icecream for morning tea – looxery. Continued on to Mt Molloy (200 km from LDH). Checked out the town – 5 minutes. Decided we might as well go down the hill to Mossman and get shopping - 30 km to Woolys! Another fortune on food and stuff, and drugs for me.
We have 2 alternate plans now: go straight to Daintree or try for a boat trip at the ferry Crossing. We still have a week to go on our Crocodile Express pass. Missed the last trip by 15 minutes – due to a coffee at the Crossroads Café. Have decided to park for the night and go first trip tomorrow.
The boat has come back and nailed the driver, Denis, who immediately invited us for a quick trip to see a big croc while he moors the boat for the night. ‘Stumpy’ (only 3.5 legs) is apparently about 80 – no teeth, but doesn’t really need then as he could crush a skull with his gums anyway!!!.
So we have parked – definitely not ‘camped’ in the corner of the carpark and plan to make the 8:30 trip in the morning.
