We had such a great time with a really fantastic group of people, and while things were busy busy busy, we managed to still soak up the absolute stunning beauty of our surrounds.
Here's a few snapshots...
We were treated to a night of amazing dance and culture, presented by students at Djarragun College. Here are some of the young guys who are from Cape York country.
Running tours, particularly for large groups, can sometimes mean you don't have much time to look around, because you're always looking after the group's needs. Here is one example of when I was glad I put down the tea towel and walked the 50 metres from our campsite at Cape Tribulation to the beach for the sunrise. Picture perfect. Looks so beautiful it's almost a cliche, except when you're standing there with the warm morning breeze and the lulling ocean, it's very real and almost overwhelming.
Camping with 40 people is mayhem! But organised chaos at that. Arriving at camp means a bustle of activity begins, with tents, mats, sleeping bags and luggage going everywhere. Sleeping in a swag means you can pick a quiet spot (away from the snorers!).
Not everyone made it across dry. One of the river crossings on the Bloomfield Track, right in the heart of the Daintree. Crocodiles? Hmmm... Well this rider made it out unscathed! The couple on the other side got their kodak moment too.
Another creek crossing, this time on the road from Laura to Jowalbinna. After riding across this creek, everyone took some time to soak up the deliciously cool water and soothe tired muscles.
And finally, this is me driving across one of the deeper river crossings.Fun!
