Yet again, sleeping is an issue which in turn makes for a slow start to the day.

Today we went for a hike in the Barron Gorge National Park. A little 8km return hike up 453m in elevation to Glacier Rock Lookout. It was an easy enough hike terrain wise but was a continuous up, up, up. We enjoyed a nice rest at the top for lunch and then headed down, down, down. Most of the walk was in the shade except for about 15 mins each way. We saw a few lace monitors, a few birds, brush turkeys, scrub hens and a couple of cassowary scats.

After our hike we headed in to Cairns to buy a few things for our next few days adventures, this included mask, snorkel and flippers, a box to store them in the car, an ice-pack for David’s shoulder as it is a mess after yesterdays swim, then the groceries.

We will stay in this area for the rest of the week.
