Very early start today -- so early that +Jill and I were driving before breakfast. 700-800 km drive ahead of us meant we were hopping in the car and going.After about 90 minutes, we detoured off the highway for coffee and a bit to eat. Jill took this opportunity to use the "Clean Rest Rooms".
For lunch, I found a town right on the Coral Sea that I figured would be perfect. Cardwell. Unfortunately it has been hit by 2 cyclones and is one huge construction site with no apparent end (and 4-5 months already under some insanity).
I took a couple of photos anyway while we waited for and then inhaled lunch which was actually pretty good. It's a shame that even walking on the sidewalk was a challenge. Businesses are suffering.We continued on our journey to the rainforest north of Cairns and Port Douglas called Daintree. They have a waterfall that is filtered water coming from underground and used at our accommodation for all purposes.
It was also a sacred sight to the local Aboriginal women. So females can go in the water but men are only allowed to look at the waterfall. What a long day.
