Rainy and overcast today. We drove into town and walked around the shops. We found the grocery store to stock up and we had lunch. We hoped to just sit at the pool and not tour anywhere. Well, the weather semi-cleared up but not pool weather so we drove farther up the coast to a town called Mossman. We passed sugar cane fields and occasionally crossed over the narrow gauge railroad track that serviced the fields during harvest. Our goal was the Mossman Gorge. We drove up the narrowing river valley and the narrowing road until we reached the park. There was a nice raised walkway through the rain forest. We came to the falls at the Gorge. The river was filled with boulders and cascaded down a series of short falls. The boulders created pools where the local folks were swimming. It was a place where you could cool off on a hot day.
