After another humid night we woke at around 07:30 and got up at 8.
Wandered down to the beach and Brian found that crabs had taken residence.

Left around 09:45 to go to Cape Tribulation, passed Newell Beach, but when we got to the Daintree river ferry crossing,
was told that the Cape was inaccessible due to a lorry road accident.

So we went into the hills to Daintree village and wandered to the tranquil historical wharf.

Then decided to back track and to go Mossman and up into to the hills.
We found the Gorge visitor centre and parked up around 12:30.
Spent an enjoyable afternoon walking up the road to the Mossman river Gorge passed the local Aboriginal Community Village,
along the raised forest walkway.
There was a place to swim to escape the humidity then went further up the path to the Rex Creek suspension bridge.

We were back in the hotel for around 16:00 to shower, rest and have dinner and chat to the ever present cicada hum.
Best calamari rings and ailoli followed by grilled salmon and roast veg I've had in a long while.
Brian had garlic bread then fillet mignon and roast veg.
In bed for around 22:00, listening to the gekos in our room calling one another amongst the background of the waves crashing.
