Camping next to Myall Beach is worth it just for the sunrise, but you'll also find coconuts dotting the shore that are perfect for having with your breakfast! www.cheskiesgaplife.com

Cairns is the best place to visit the reef because the further south you go, the further away from land the reef goes! Maximise your time out there with a shorter journey. #waterlust #colorful www.cheskiesgaplife.com
The Mossman River is a beautiful part of the Daintree Rainforest in Tropical North Queensland - you can do a guided SUP tour down the river with Windswell Port Douglas, the best way to experience the rainforest and river, with lots of swimming holes and tree swings along the way.
Kulki Lookout is one of the best places to see the meeting point of the Wet Tropics World Heritage Area and the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park. It's such a wonderful sight. The lookout is a short walk from the car park at Cape Tribulation Beach and offers a beautiful view over beach - plus you get a lovely walk through the rainforest.

Mossman Gorge

Thornton Beach, just south of Cape Tribulation in Far North Queensland. There is a yummy cafe overlooking the beach here! #roadtrip Daintree #NationalPark in northern Queesland, where the forest meets the sea! Blissful place for a #WeekendGetaway. #Blue, adding this picture because it is one of my favourite places up north.

Thornton Beach

Black Mountain National Park lies about 25 kilometres southwest of Cooktown in #FarNorthQueensland, #Australia. The park is significant for its granite boulders formed from magma 250 million years ago and also the cultural landscape to Australian Aboriginals, known as 'place of spear'. This picture was taken in the fading light of day with my trusty iPhone5s. Black Mountain #NationalPark #goldenhour

Rossville

The magical Mossman Gorge is located in the wet tropical region of Queensland and is an amazing rainforest with so much beauty.

Throwback to May, 2014 when stopped at the Palmer River in northern Queensland. The Palmer River lies almost directly west and inland to Cape Tribulation. The river flooded in the aftermath of a severe cyclone in late March. Water flowed over the bridge and debris was visible the bridge and along the river banks. One can stay overnight at the Palmer River Roadhouse and there is a range of accomodation available to suit most travellers. An interesting place to stop for an hour or longer!
