Mission Beach to Cairns,Cairns to Cooktown, to Mareeba

Hello everybody,
We stayed at Mission Beach for another 3 days, before driving to Cairns. We stayed in Cairns for a week at a place called "Crystal Cascades". It's named after a waterfall & river nearby. We had an enjoyable time in Cairns, & whilst there, we went to Mossman & Port Douglas. That was a loverly day out. We also went on a trip on the Scenic Railway to a town called Karunda, which is in a rainforest. Had a loverly time there, & came back to Cairns on the "Sky Rail". Both the railway & skyrail were fantastic. The scenery was indescribable. We left Cairns last Friday, & drove to a beachside caravan park at Wonga Beach. It is a good place to stay to see Cape Tribulation, & The Daintree rain forest area. From there, we left the caravan & drove to Cooktown, & stayed overnight in the Cooktown Hotel. It was cheap & clean & noisy at night, but the beds were comfortable. Back to Wonga Beach for 2 more nights before we left the coast & headed inland to Mareeba in the Atherton Tablelands. We are staying at the Rodeo Grounds at the huge cost of $12.00 per night. It's not a bad atmosphere here & the amenities are clean but basic.
Love to you all,
Avril & Doug
