Port Douglas and Cape Tribulation

Our last days on the coast before heading into the sunburnt Australian outback were spent exploring the one-of-a-kind rainforest region of the Daintree and the beaches that border it. Saltwater crocodiles (and the inevitable horror stories about them you hear everywhere) kept us out of the water, but seeing the ocean reach right up to the rim of the rainforest was a unique experience and a perfect way to complete our journey up the eastern coast.
