It's time to take a decent look at Port Douglas, but only after brekkie and another swim in the hotel pool.
After some mojito enhanced decision making we've booked a day out at the great barrier reef tomorrow, which leaves us with some time to wander down to Four Mile Beach, then take a sunset cruise on the Lady Douglas.
The cruise is an hour or so up the Dickson Inlet through the mangrove forests and the territory of the great Australian estuarine crocodile. Despite everything you may have heard, they're not swarming everywhere just waiting to eat human flesh, they are typically solitary and secretive creatures, as their survival for 200 million years attests to.
The captain of the Lady Douglas delivers a lot of useful information about the animal and it's environment, richly laced with an ironic wit.
