Today we left the hotel at 9am to go to Low Isles, the closest island to Port Douglas where you can experience the beautiful Great Barrier Reef, located only 13 kilometres away. While walking to the Marina we met Jay and Banita again with their daughter Sunday, they were to spend the day on the 4 M…

Well, the last Day in PD. Had a few things to do that involved getting from A to B, so invested in another bike hire. Had a swim off 4 mile beach  and a bite to eat and then did a few necessaries. Had decided on a quiet day but had a hankering to visit the reef again, so set off to see if the…

(Originally published at http://www.troysgonewalkabout.com) I was part of the majority of our new and enlarged group to get on the coach for the hour ride to the exclusive resort town of Port Douglas.

Port Douglas to Atherton. When we booked into Pandanus Caravan Park for the second time, we were greeted like friends, the lady behind the counter handed me a leaflet from a local Bistro, Port O’Call, with a voucher to buy two meals for the price of one. Sounded like a great deal so when dinnert…

To the South Pacific for a 3rd time: trekking all over Australia, then off to my family's house in Tauranga!

Stopped off at Port Douglas for a walk along 4-mile beach and for a drink. Was a nice beach, the water was warm and it was quite busy despite the stinger warning signs. Nice little place but lots of flash resorts and money.

    Today, I walked around Port Douglas to four mile beach and got ready for the 7 day livaboard on the Great Barrier Reef.

Nous avons fait un excellent choix pour l'excursion sur la grande barriere de corail: un petit bateau (pour 35 passagers, mais nous n'etions que 17), trois superbes sites de plongee et du personnel tres, tres gentil. Pendant l'heure de bateau qui nous amene a notre premier site, j'ai vus des poisso…
