Hutchings alone in Daintree

After a slightly earlier than expected morning on the Saturday (we heard the Campbell's leaving - suitcase wheels, departure video and elated shouts of Great Barrier Reef) the owner asked J & G if they had seen the snake near the pond! A new leaf?

Today was Cape Tribulation day - sunny at last. We even took a sneaky look at the Bloomfield Track (hire cars not allowed on the track).

Cape Trib is fantastic.

We decided to do some exotic fruit tasting in the afternoon - wow. Black Sapote (Choc Pudding Fruit) was big anticlimax as a fruit - no real taste but definitely a pudding texture. Jakfruit (looks but does not smell similar to Durian) was a favourite.

Then it was off for some locally produced ice cream - Joe had Coffee Cream, George Choc Hazlenut, Mandy Chilli Chocolate and Mark Banana passionfruit and ginger - all incredibly good and all made with local ingredients (north of cairns) - some from the exotic fruit farm.

Despite the beauty of the rain forest we all agreed we were rainforested out. Fortunately we were leaving in the morning.
