Day 62 Port Douglas

It was a slow start to the day, we all had a little sleep in (8.00am), which was nice and needed. We had decided to have a little drive around Port Douglas to see what it had to offer. First stop was the marina to see some very large boats ($$$$$$$$$)

and then the lookout. "What a lovely view".

The next stop was the beach, time for some mucking around between the flags in the netted off area. The nets are there for 2 reasons, number 1.to keep the jelly fish out ( it is heading into box jelly fish and Irakandji season. Irakandji are tiny and extremely venomous jellyfish and the only way that you know they are in the water is that you feel their sting. The number 2 reason is playing it safe and keeping the odd croc away.

After the swim, we headed back to the caravan park for lunch and to start to prepare for Saturday's big adventure- The Great Barrier Reef. We had to teach Bridget how to Snorkel. That exercise took about 30 seconds or maybe less. Richard was setting up the snorkel gear for the twins and Bridget decided to set up her own and start straight away.The girl was born to duck dive.

We decided to finish the evening off with a fish on the point, after little Rich asked his father every 5 minutes for an hour, "Can we go fishing". It was a lovely relaxing time with 2 barracouta and a bream.
