We're amazed by where we are and how far we've come! Sitting at Top Pub in Cooktown typing this after a day on the Bloomfield Track from Cape Tribulation. Not to mention Port Douglas before that with a trip out to the reef for a snorkel and dive! WOW, we do realise how lucky we are.
Some may have known there was a potential chef job for Matt in Cape York but everything happens for a reason and by the time we got to talk to the guy at the camp in Cape Tribulation, it was taken. We are still on track then for heading west and we're happy about that.
The reef from Port Douglas was magical - so much coral and fish! It's been awhile since my last dive so I had one just as a refresher but the snorkels were where the real viewing was with pristine conditions! The reef tipped out of the water at low tide - I didn't realise it could exist in pure sun but only for the tide changes.
The boat crew were passionate about the reef and helpful on the dive - totally recommend. I researched a couple different boats before we decided on Calypso and it was brilliant!
Cape Tribulation was a pretty special place with our camp just at the location where the reef meets the rainforest. From the beach we even
accidentally walked on the reef until we realised that's what I it was and had to do a major soft back peddle. Saw our first cassowary and croc here!
The journey truly has begun!
