The photos are of the trip and some of Cooktown. A small town that can be walked easily one end to the other. I stayed at the Seaview at one end of Cooktown right near the wharf. A nice surprise was that the 07.00am bus back from Cooktown was rescheduled to leave later at 13.30pm .. so I got to sleep in a couple of hours and spend a bit more time around town. The bus trip was most enjoyable, mostly because I did not have to drive, but also because it permitted the trip down the coast through places otherwise not safe to attempt with a normal road vehicle.
Went through Bloomfield, along the edge of the Daintree, through Cape Tribulation then across the Daintree ferry, down through Mossman and back to Cairns, just over 5hrs trip all in the afternoon.
Tomorrow starts my final countdown to returning home. Looking forward to it.

Enjoying YR blog John and your stories of work and travel..
Hi John,
Have immensely enjoyed your experiences relayed through this blog. I imagine at first it would have been a new and somewhat exciting adventure. It's funny how we can perhaps be creatures of habit and eventually submit to 'missing the family'. You have always been a great provider for your family but this latest adventure tops the lot!! What a wonderful way of advancing your own interests whilst paying the bills.... Better than the regular clientel and four walls eh?
Hope the homeward stretch is not too long and drawn out and that Queensland Health finds your paperwork soon!! Boy they are something else!!
Look forward to seeing you on your return
Warm regards,
Helen Riddell
