We woke early to a extremely heavy tropical downpour. we were worried the building might wash away at one point. Our two roomies were fab - I didn't here them come in or snore! I got up at 7.30 and had a nice hoit shower before having breakfast...although the staff were rather late putting breakfast on from all the free wine the night before. Whist the handful of us were having breakfast, a commotion occurred on the balcony over the reception because a Cassowary ...

Woke up to find out Garth had got a migraine in the night so I ate breakfast alone which included being accused by a staff member of having my second fruit salad - I must look very average/like other girls...(not impressed).

We jumped in the car and I drove us north to Mossman Valley. I bought 2 shuttle tickets for $6 each and an aboriginal drove us up the the gorge. The sun was out and it was lovely. The ra...
