,Day 19 started with breakfast in the room, Weetbix and fruit... We need to start looking after the body... ( Lost cause for me I think) Far too many bacon and eggs. We headed out of Port Douglas and missed the turning to Cooktown .... We took the scenic route along the coast to the village of Daintree... The scenery is spectacular ... After a short stop we headed back to the turning and on the way to Cooktown... For me this section of our trip was totally unexpected , the scenery changed as we moved into the mountains. The road has to be one of the top motorcycle routes in Australia, everything from long straights to great sections of turns ... You have to keep an eye out for Kangaroos and wild pigs.
We saw a number of large wedge tail eagles , one had a wing span half way across the road.
We stop at the Lakeside Roadhouse for lunch and coffee.. Certainly one of the best roadhouse we have used... The local scenery was particularly special ...long legs and short shorts. Roll on Broome
We rolled into Cooktown to find out that most of the accommodation was booked... A tax payer paid government junket was on (national trust). We managed to get the last 2 rooms in a very average motel..
Couple of beers and some reef fish from the local fishy. ( and a very special sunset with John)
