Leaving MelbourneAlarm went off at 06:00 and was straight in the shower bleary eyed.
Tea and remainder of the bananas and on the road for 07:10
Warm Melbourne day even then at 22 degrees and and saw dawn over the M80 airport road just before the queues!
Was sweating a bit but the queue didn't last long and had dropped off the car by 08:15.
Security was quick so had time for a big brekkie large muffin to share between us with coffee.
The flight to Cairns with lunch passed quickly and gained an hour in time difference (Queensland has no Summer Time).
As we stepped off the plane the humidity and heat hit us.
Was sweating properly when we collected and loaded the hire car - another upgrade - thanks Europcar.
The dashboard said 33 degrees - felt like it.
Went up the Captain Cook Highway towards Port Douglas to our resort, stopping off for money and provisions (alcohol!) along the way.
The coast is stunning.
Arrived around 14:00 and settled down for an afternoon of doing... nothing... 😉
Had cocktails and roast beef dinner in the hotel around 18:30 and chatted to other guests before retiring

North Cairns coast around 21:30.
A sultry evening with the sound of the waves and the moonlight bouncing off the surf, the gardens lit up with tall oil candles - heaven!

Got your text was awake early hours of the morning. You did say 33 degrees drop the one of the 3's and its red hot here. Continue to enjoy yourselves look forward to more photos.
