We made it this far. How did we get here?

A screen dump from our Hema Explorer App. with the track showing.

Yep it's called Cooktown for a reason. Here is  the statue of Cook, near the site where he beached the Endeavour to make repairs.

Apparently Cook and Banks climbed this very hill looking for a way back out to sea. Cooks journal states that though he had a good view he was not impressed with what he saw; sand banks and reefs and no clear navigable path.

This light house is no longer functioning but the local residents are hoping to keep it "restored" - for we visitors.

While out taking this stunning sunset photo 🙂 I noticed a group of people gathered around the cafe we had lunch at.

Closer investigation showed that, no there was not a Crocodile in the water, but rather this man was hand feeding about 6 huge Groper. You can't really see them in the photo but they are huge.
