From Mt Molloy we travelled over the ranges into Port Douglas. Interesting drive down thru the hills towing the van but we managed it successfully.

Our last stay in Port Douglas was about 8 years ago and we were interested to see if there were many changes in that time. Last time we visited in the wet season when it was horrendously hot and humid whilst now its mainly dry with high 20’s, so there is considerably more people here, even taking into account COVID.

I don’t know whether Port Douglas still has the same aura about it as it once had. It does seem a bit dated and old in places. The Main Street is very much for the foodie and those shopping for clothes, interspersed with bars. The weather is very windy so there has not been much activity with the boats going out to the reef. We don’t intend to do the reef on this trip but we will be heading up to the Daintree and Cape Tribulation on Sunday.

Have visited a few places so far around town and had a very nice meal at the Yacht Club. Markets for the girls and golf for the guys coming up over the next few days.
