Little Lucinda with a very Long jetty


We didn't really know what to expect from Lucinda, but ended up having a great time in this little town, especially fishing off the jetty! Ben is showing off one of our unusual catches....a Remora fish, sometimes referred to as a sucker fish, the ones that are found attached to sharks, manta rays, whales....or boys!

An Ancient Landscape - Australia's Daintree National Park

Yes we are home and most of you are aware that I've been a little preoccupied,  but I hope you don't mind receiving the last few posts so I can make this 2011 Big Trip Blog complete!
I've heard a lot of people say its not worth driving all the way up to the Daintree and Cape Tribulation, but when you understand a little of what you are experiencing it really is something special.  Its also very beautiful and dramatic the way the steep mountain ranges are blanketed by dense rain forest that make their way down onto the white sandy beach at Cape Tribulation.
