Port Douglas to the Top End

The point being to get the front wheel of the car on start of the unsealed road.

Yeah, they need stinger nets round here.

But the beaches are very nice.

Ooo, mangos - straight ones this time.

The road from Cairns up is stunning.

There's a river to cross on the cable ferry.

Someone decided that making a boat that looks like a train, putting tourists in in and then launching into a croc-infested river was a really good idea.

There's a bit of mountain to go over.

Me. On a mountain.

Woot, the real deal - a cassowary.

This guy decided to have a bit of a wander around on the road.

Not very clear, I know, but the front wheels are on dirt, the back on seal road. That's it. This piece of crap ain't going no further.

Back down to Cape Tribulation and I ran into this little fellow.

The usual warnings that just about everything round here can, and will, kill you.

More nice beaches.

And mangroves.

A weird mangrove fruit-thing that may be edible but will more likely kill you.

Tea - and there was me thinking it came from bags.
