Saturday 25th February

We spent the morning exploring the grounds of the resort where we will be based for the next week. At the moment it is hot, humid and very wet.

We collected a hire car and drove into the Port Douglas town centre to have a look round and to stock up on drinks, washing powder and insect repellent.

We walked down to 4 mile beach and were greeted by this sign so we didn't go too near the sea!

We climbed part way up the path to the headland but turned round when we heard the thunder. We were a bit wary of being too near these trees when the wind got up as some branches and fruits looked ready to fall.

We went back into town to make enquiries about trips to the Great Barrier Reef and to the Daintree Rain Forest. Finally we returned to make use of the pool even though it was raining.
