We stopped for lunch along the way where the kids could throw stones/rocks into the creek and burn off some energy. The trip took us about 4.5 hours.
We arrived in the Daintree JUST in time to make the next croc spotting cruise (4pm) along the Daintree River. Armed with binoculars, beer/wine & peanuts for the adults, soft drink & lollies for the kids we enjoyed the hour long cruise with the crocs being pointed out to us by the guide. In Queensland the boats are required to allow 10metres distance between the boat and the crocodile.
The guide informed us that at high tide the river is salt water but at low tide the river is fresh water. We enjoyed seeing the crocodiles in their natural environment and admired the beautiful Daintree Forest too.
After the cruise we had to find somewhere to camp for the night. We headed up the road for about 15 minutes and booked in at the caravan park. We hurried to set up and get dinner sorted.
When the kids were in bed Mars headed down to the river for a quick fishing fix. Mars was unsuccessful but he did get chatting to one of the other fishermen who had caught some fish.
