Cape Tribulation.
On Saturday the 25th of June we drove up to Cape Tribulation. This was as far as we could go with our caravan. (It was 4wd only from here to the top of Queensland.)
We had to cross the Daintree River on a ferry. When we got to the other side the road became narrow and full of twists and turns. It wound its way around the coastline. In one section part of the road had washed away making it 1 lane only.
It was quite beautiful driving through the rainforest.
We got to our camp spot and guess what! It rained. It was amazing to see and feel the rain in the rainforest. We didn’t get wet much because the trees were protecting us. We went and had a look at the beaches. The water was brown from the cane farmers and there was warning signs about crocodiles and stingers in the water. Needless to say we didn’t go swimming.
On Sunday we were booked in to do Jungle surfing. Careena was very worried about doing this but when we got there her fears disappeared.
I became a bit nervous but I was O.K . I hung upside down and let go with one hand. My next challenge is to do it again and while hanging upside down let go with both hands.
