Mossman to Daintree Village
After a night at Newell Beach, just beyond Mossman, an easy drive brought us to lovely Daintree Village with much of the day left.

Unloading the roof
We were severely short of storage space, and Peter was our nimblest second-story man

Makings of a feast
Patsy's enthusiasm for good cooking was a fantastic blessing, and here she first favored us with her specialty "Sunday roast."

"Eureka! A stove!"
The campground's open balcony over the river made a lovely dining room.
