Mossman Gorge, Qld
Day 3 Another day, another market. This time we are at Port Douglas and the market is pretty huge, even if it is the same old, same old. Not to worry, someone enjoys browsing in every stall and trying on every top, skirt, wrap on offer. With the market out of the way, we took ourselves off for a leisurely stroll of the Mossman Gorge. What!!!!! What is all this building and information centre and shop and why is the road blocked? Seems that last year they built this decent sort of information centre and closed traffic access to the gorge itself. Now, for only $6, you are driven up and back in a minibus. The carpark is the same but they have installed a big new walkway up the gorge and including a suspension bridge over one of the creeks. It’s an odd place though; you keep expecting to come across the head of the gorge and a waterfall, but you don’t. You’re led up the path through and above the rainforest, with views of the river and then up to a lookout. You can’t see anythin...
