A leisurely start with a refreshing swim in the pool.
Having seen so much of the sugar process it seemed appropriate to see the final stage - the milling. So it was off for a tour at the Mossman Sugar Mill. We all enjoyed seeing the process and tasting the product (only raw sugar is produced for further refining) - tour was good value, informative and let you see the guts of the operation.
But it was exceptionally hot - steam is used to power the machinery - just what you need when temperatures are 30C. Back to Port Douglas for a beach stop - yesterday the beach had been closed as 50 stingers were found on the beach - today all was clear and low risk of stingers.
Great waves for body surfing and generally mucking around.
Tomorrow - white water rafting and Wednesday the outer great barrier reef.
Days are disappearing quickly now.
