Got car, left Cairns hit Kuranda before most of tourists. Did walk, very touristy, left for Mareeba-went to a wetland and bush reserve. What a contrast, 3 miles down a dusty unmade road and then an amazing lagoon and wildlife centre. Decided to stay the night in a deluxe bush tent (tent on staging, attached open topped ensuite) I was a bit anxious as only 2 others staying a long way from us. Evening walking saw kangaroos - so quiet and then beautiful sunset over lagoon. Visited lots in night by scratching in tent and scuttling-licking our dinner plates clean- "quoll". David surprised one or was it the other way around! Had an amazing bird tour in jeep with Chuck(alias Crocodile Dundee) next morning 7 am - 61 species of birds. Moved on around Atherton- much tamer, but lovely. Caught sight of first platypus this morning!
