We set ourselves up in Port Douglas, a quiet corner in a basic Caravanpark, all facilities of the township in walking distance. But guess what...we are really in the tropics, so we have to deal with all sorts of tropical surprises.The biggest is not a pleasant one: dengue fever. Once in a while North Queensland has to deal with a (limited) outbreak, and yes there are 18 reported infections. Where?? In Port Douglas and in Mossman ! Just where we are !
So I was a little frightened when I ended up with a big rash ( dutch: uitslag) over my body on wednesday, but no worries, its just a rash, I just got mad from the itching. Its almost gone now, so I can stop scratching.
Right now we just are a little carefull and use a lot of tropical strength insect-repellant.
Wednesday we will travel on again, heading inland to Lake Tinaroo, in the middle of the Atherdon Tablelands. We will leave the oceancoast behind us. Looking forward to that.

Hallo ome Jan en Pam,
Geweldig om te lezen en wat een mooie omgeving daar. Lijkt me best te doen in die enorme caravan.
Geniet van alle moois en van de rust.
Groetjes, nichtje Karin
