After the short stay on Milln Reef in the Great Barrier Reef system we headed north until the pavement turned to gravel. At that point we knew we had taken our rental car a bit too far and immediately turned around and headed back to the turn we missed to Cape Tribulation. The whole area of North Queensland is extraordinary. Though we did wind up crossing paths with a couple of new friends we made on the sailboat, the walks were by no means crowded. The weather was pleasant, though you did have to be prepared for a shower at any moment. We stopped for lunch at a place in the middle of the rainforest set on the side of a clear stream and had a taste of an Australian native fish called barramundi. It was quite good but even better was the setting.
