We drove up to the lookout and lighthouse on Mt Cook to look for a way out of here, just as Captain Cook did over 200 years ago. Cooky found a route through the reef, but for us the best way was back the way we came along the inland road. Again it was super windy and raining up on the hill, but the view was magnificent! We headed back down to the coast, to Port Douglas, which we had skipped on the way up. On the way we passed a fish farm selling cheap barramundi which we could not resist. We cooked it up on the BBQ for dinner. The caravan park is located amongst the luxury resorts, a short walk from the main street and beach. We had a walk down past the trendy shops and down to the marina, what a lovely town this is. We booked ourselves on a trip to the reef for tomorrow. The weather is expected to be as good as it is going to be for the next few days, and we are hoping for the best.
