BLACK MOUNTAIN Today we left Port Douglas and headed up to
Cooktown leaving the van on site. It was an interesting trip as you go behind the first set of ranges and up onto a tableland which has
Savannah vegetation and cattle, so much like the mid west of Queensland. Black Mountain is granite which is over 250 million years old.

FINCH BAY This is a lovely bay in
Cooktown with really lush vegetation coming down to meet the Coral Sea.
Cooktown is where Captain Cook landed in 1770 and in it's boom time was the second busiest port in Queensland and had a population of 30,000 with mining, now it is less than 1,500.
