We headed north planning to visit the Daintree River as our farthest point north.
We tried to book into a caravan park in Port Douglas which advertised a dump station in order to dispose of our black water. He offered us a camp site with no power, no level ground and a dump into his quarry all for $14 per night. We said we'd be back if we couldn't find anything better.
Daintree village is pretty prosaic and the caravan park was unimpressive and full.
In something of a quandary, we travelled back 20 km down the road to a caravan park at Wonga Beach. We were able to get in to the last available site because of a no-show.
It was pleasant but seemed expensive from our new-found status of bush-campers.
The beach here is somewhat better than the others we had seen in north Queensland but its hard to impress someone from Sydney's northern beaches.
