Cairns 19th -21st June

Today we ventured up the coast about 60 kms to visit Port Douglas. which is a great scenic drive along the coast and the northern beaches.
Port Douglas was until the 1960's just  a sleepy fishing village when in the 1970's tourism started to develop and ever since then it has gone from strength to strength with it now being the life blood of the place.

We walked around the village and over to the marina, stopping off for a great inexpensive lunch and beer at the wharf.
                                                        St Mary's by the Sea - Church
                                                 View from the restaurant up to the marina

                                                                  The Lady Douglas

    Hello! You look so lovely and warm and relaxed! I am freezing, wearing 3 long sleeve wool layers and sitting in front of the heater (our house is VERY cold!) On school holidays next week.
    I like the look of that cute church. Have you done drawing of it?
    Good to see your smiling faces,
    big hug - Marisa xxoo
