Day 60: Port Douglas, QLD

Today was a wonderful day. We started off early to go catch the 12:15 Daintree River cruise about 25 to 30 km from Port Douglas. As we had to stop and purchase an extension cord to replace the one we left at a previous campground, we left early. As it turned out, we found what we needed along the way in Mossman and lost only about 15 minutes. As a result, we arrived at the terminal much earlier than planned and found that we were in time for the earlier cruise. The cruise was on a very small boat with only six passengers which made it especially nice. The electric motor was very quiet and as we slowly cruised up the Daintree River, the wildlife paid us no attention. On the way we were fortunate to see a very rare Nankeen Night Heron, a Great Egret, two baby crocs and one adolescent croc. The Daintree River runs through a rain forest and, as one might expect, it rained. But the rain didn’t dampen our spirits one bit. The trip was truly delightful.

Since we took an earlier cruise than we expected, we had a couple of extra hours before our next river cruise so we stopped at the Mossman Gorge Park and went for a short hike into the rain forest. With the overcast weather, it was not too hot, but it sure was humid. The rain forest is truly fascinating and I was especially interested in seeing how the tall trees keep from falling in the unstable ground. To help secure themselves in the wet ground they have developed buttress roots that are very wide instead of being round like most tree roots. You will see what I mean when I get the pictures posted.

After Mossman Gorge we returned to Port Douglas to take our cruise up the Dickson Inlet. Here we saw an eagle diving for his dinner which he unfortunately missed. But the boat captain threw out a salmon which the eagle picked up in a flash. The main attraction of the cruise was Charlie, a two meter male croc and the king of the river. Charlie was a true showman. He swam down the river and posed in front of a sign warning people that there were crocs in the area. Then he swam out to our boat to see if anyone wanted to jump in and join him for supper. After a lengthy show, he got bored and swam off and we returned to town.
