From Cairns to the Daintree

Focussing on Cairns, the metropolitan centre of Far North Queensland, and the beaches and coastal townships extending up to Mossman and Port Douglas, and on up to the Daintree River crossing. Twenty years had passed since I last visited Cairns, and I was taken aback by the beauty of the setting on Trinity Bay, surrounded by peaks clothed in tropical forest.
