16th September 2014 Daintree

Heading for the Daintree today took us down one of the longest hilks I think I have known, it was going down into Mosman, the speed limit was 30km, all vehicles were recommended to use low gear as it was steep and very windy, it also seemed to go on for approx 10km.
There was only a couple of places that you could see out, there was a couple of lookouts, once again, what a veiw ,the rest had thick rainforest along the edge of the road.
When we got to the Daintree River we caught a ferry across, there was a very large crocodile laying on a sandbar, no time for swimming here, we then made our way to the Koala Park camp area.
The last 5km of the road down to the park was a narrow dirt road so we were taking it easy, as we rounded a corner there was a cassowary slowly crossing the road, there are supposed to be only 1200 left and we were lucky enough to see one.
In the afternoon as the tide was coming in we went along the beach to try for a fish, we caught a few small ones but while doing that I dropped my phone in the water, doh!!!.
