Do you remember Christopher Skase... well... when he arrived in this little sleepy seaside village in the 80's to build his Sheraton Mirage... Port Douglas suddenly found itself in the spotlight... a star was born... literally... overnight...
People came from far and wide... celebrities, hollywood starlets... why even an ex president or two...
In fact... a certain Bill and Hillary were having a quiet and private holiday right here when they received that fateful call on 09/11...
Of course Mr Skase has long left our shores... 1st becoming a fugitive and running off to Majorca in Spain, and then leaving this planet permanently...
Port Douglas however lives on... its very much still a fabulous little exclusive spot to come for a few days...
Not a great deal happening here, but when you need time out from a busy life... I suppose that's exactly what you want isnt it...
And... the drive to Port Douglas from Cairns is absolutely spectacular... right along the sea cliff edge, with wide expansive views of ocean and islands... its pretty special...
Have fun... Nic
