Having consulted the weather man, we thought our best bet to
give Renske at least some of the warm tropical sunny experience, would be to
cross Cairns and go north to have a look at the Daintree area. We decided to
base in Mossman, at the caravan park there.
We packed in overcast but dry weather and drove north. Only
about 15km north of Babinda the cloud broke and in another 10km or less we were
looking at a completely blue sky!! Strange weather, ay?
We made our way up the coast, savouring the warmth of the
sun.

| Ahhh, but the girls had to soak up the sun on Ellis Beach! |

| Unnamed rock |
 |
| Double Island |
 |
| Yes, they have got it out of their system, ready to resume our journey.... |
At Mossman, we set up camp and were in dire need of a swim by the time we
were finished – it was that hot! Well, it was only 27 degrees, but the humidity
was still very high, so a bit of exertion around the caravan and you would be
dripping with sweat.
The enjoyment of sunshine etc. was marred somewhat by the
discovery that one cannot pay for one’s Tasmanian driver’s licence renewal
using the internet. Service Tasmania demands your personal appearance before it
will renew your licence. Seeing that my licence was about to expire, I was in a
bit of a fix.
However, with a bit of sweat and angst we filled
in the forms for a Photo ID Kit and a Licence Renewal application, got some
passport photos done, went to the Mossman Magistrate’s Court for a JP to verify
my identity and cover the forms with official stamps (she said: the more the
merrier!) and sent off the result to Hobart. After all that I was ordered by my
female companions to forget all about it and enjoy the rest of my holiday. |
