One for the Carnivores
Daughter No. 2 ordered this to share with her husband.. I believe its ALL meat! Coco
Mojo do a magnificent shared dish with seafood, both daughters ordered that when we
had a meal here to celebrate daughter No. 3's birthday. Now all the meat/sea food eaters
can drool! :)
This is the last image for this gallery, hope you all enjoyed a taste of the Australian tropics!

Eating Out
The last evening in the lovely warmth of the tropics we ate out at our favourite
little restaurant called Coco Mojo. This was my meal - vegetarian ofcourse - rice
balls and salad with satay and/or chilli sauce. Tomorrow I'll feature what some of the carnivores ate.
This will be the penultimate entry to this gallery.

Life Savers Shelter
I'm not sure how many life savers would fit inside this little shelter, my
guess is that on weekends and school holidays there would be more than one.
My view obviously is from the back of the shelter... Clifton Beach where we stayed had
one near the children's playground on the foreshore.
Foreground is a drinking fountain.. photo taken on the walking trail.
Re the walking trail, I believe the paving is recycled car tyres..makes walking on them
less tiring that cement would be.

The Swimming Flags
There is a marking using the flags to let swimmers know the safe place for them,
and there is a lifesaver hut along the pathway back to the central section of the beach.
In this photo you can see the flags, its not a large section, and I'm not sure whether
this is surrounded by netting to keep out the sharks crocodiles and stingers prevalent in these
warmer waters.
If you look closely there are a row of buoys in the water.
This particular beach has a selection of cafes and other touristy shops, whereas the beach where we stay there
is only the walking trail; but there is a top class restaurant and a group of shops with everything you need in Clifton Beach.

Around another bend
This time at another beach further south of Clifton Beach .. our last day in the tropics so Dick and I
went for a drive. The others had decided to go up into the Daintree and were gone all
day. We've done it before, all those winding narrow roads.
Instead we had a leisurely walk along the beach and walking path followed by a coffee. You can compare
cameras here, this was the Lumix, and yesterday's the Canon & long lens.

Around the Bend
Another photo taken from the lookout on the walking trail. Lovely to see
families and dogs enjoying the sunshine.

Best mates.
There's always a few people walking the dog/dogs on this beach, or on the walking
trail.

Waving in the Wind
I had plenty of palm fronds to choose from... this tree took my eye.

Breakers...
I find them mesmerising to watch, especially in the late afternoon when I often went
for a stroll along the walking trail... and finding a spare seat would sit for a while.
The breakers never reached the huge size that some beaches have,
I think the islands off the coast created a shelter for this row of popular beaches.

Looking towards Kewarra, the next beach south..
I took this photo from a lookout on the trail you saw yesterday with my long lens so you can see some detail
of housing amongst the trees. Best in original rather than auto format.

Units where we stayed
Unfortunately they have been sold so this was most probably the last year we
will have our holiday here. We have been staying in these units for the past 5 years,
mostly with some old friends, but a couple of times part of our family came too, as they
did this year.

Through the fronds
