Day 57 - Wonga Beach - Port Douglas

This morning we went for a nice long walk along the beach.  So strange watching the sun come up over the beach.  Mum and Dad, you would just love it here, we met a bloke from Bunbury that came here for 2 days 7 years ago and stayed for two weeks, he now comes back for 5 months every year!!!  We also thought is was quite funny that the place is called Wonga beach as the name is so similar to Wongan.

We love being so close to the beach.

The kids managed to make a break through with their coconut and got Dad's hammer onto the job, so they were very excited to actually get out the milk and eat some of the coconut.

Today we went for a drive to Port Douglas which is only 30km away.  I think of Port Douglas as the "Margaret River" of the area.  It's a lovely spot, but very overpriced.  A great place to come if you want to enjoy some nice meals and boutique shopping.  I think there are more resorts here than houses.  A great place to come for a relaxing holiday, however, there is also a lot of things to do in the way of tours out to the reef and up to Cape Trib, but we have decided not to do anymore of that sort of thing for a while, as we have the Australian Zoo and theme parks ahead of us yet.

Tonight we were invited over to the communal area for a "fish-a-que", yeah, instead of a "barbeque", however, it wasn't actually fish on the barbi is was basically fish and chips.  Anyway, the whole park was there with their drinks and salads.  A nice cheap meal at $5 each for us and $3 for the kids.  Lots of music playing and grey nomads enjoying a laugh!!
