We have arranged to meet Des and Sandra Prien in Port Douglas. They sold up in Brisbane and have been on the road since April. They have registered on the electoral roll as 'itinerants', but we figure registering as 'homeless' might have more benefit. Port Douglas is quite unfriendly to pets. Mossman is the closest dog-friendly caravan park.
Found them at a few minutes past 11AM - leaving Honey in our car, outside, for a few minutes. All piled into the Prien's (4 door) Suzuki for a tour, and to find somewhere for lunch. Settled on the Thai place in the main street and settled in. Honey was forced!!! to defend the table against a white Scottish Terrier which came to close (5m) to our table. Had to reel her in quickly. Odd, there is one in Mulwala we see sometimes -and she doesn't like the look of that one either... Was fine with the other few dogs we met walking around Port D! Took no photos as they would be pretty much the same as last year... but not as sunny!
Anyway, an excellent Thai feed was had and we adjourned to the Pandanus CP for coffee and chat - with Honey again in the car outside. The 'itinerants' are not really homeless, I guess with the 10M Winebago with slide-out sides, the Grand Vitara, the pushbikes and... The Harley-Davidson Electroglide...
Fought our way back 'home' up the Julatin Range from Mossman - in the drizzle and occasional heavy rain again; well storms were forecast!!!
