Hides the belly! (Wharf St Port Douglas)

After a humid night of torrential rain interspersed with the sound of surf crashing on the beach,
we woke to a partially sunny day at had the traditional Aussie brekkie and decided to go up the coast to Port Douglas.
After a quick wander near the restored Old Courthouse, In a hot 30 degrees we wandered up the steep hill to Flagstaff Hill lookout and was dripping by the time we reached it.
We were ready for a drink and a snack. We came across the same grill chain Rattle and Hum as in Cairns so shared a pizza and cola.
Then wandered round the stunning Four Mile beach with its sand bubbler crab trails and patterns, then back along the Esplanade.
By 14:00 it was time for coffee (no cake this time) then a bit further up the coast to Newell Beach.
We got back for 16:00 in time to miss the threatened rain.
But we were hungry... so ventured to Cairns for... Fish and Chips near the huge Captain Cook roadside statue, near where we stayed a couple of years ago.
Lurvly, then back in the rain in the pitch black for drinkies and a chat.
