Mossman to Daintree Village

40km. Left Mossman Caravan Park early at 8:00am because I was not allowed to use my wood stove to cook my Barley. I went to Woolies again south of town to get breakfast and 4 days of supplies to get me to Cooktown.

Left town, on a relatively busy road heading north. Stopped for a break at Wonga Beach.

I met a young woman walking with her rucksack south of the turnoff to the Daintree ferry, She was walking the Bicentennial trail. She had walked from its start in Victoria to the Queensland border, and now she was walking south. (total when she finishes will be 5,000km) She had walked from Cooktown via the creb track. Now I had thought of riding the creb track, but I thought it was closed. It took her 4 days, and it is really really steep and muddy. Also you need someone to give you a lift across the Daintree River, because of the crocs.
So I decided to miss the ferry and ride up to Daintree Village and try the creb track. However because the day was getting late, I decided to camp at Daintree Village campground where the owner has mostly convinced me its way too hard to ride the creb track.

So I am thinking about it. Here I am camped among the caravans and 4wds
