Mossman Gorge




Rex Bridge

Mossman River


After breakfast the kids had a play with their new friends and then we drove into town to see if Rick and Cooper could get a hair cut. Most of the hair salons were closed and the grumpy old barber didn't like cutting kids hair. We packed some swimming gear and picnic lunch and headed to Mossman Gorge. We stopped in the town of Mossman where the boys got a haircut at the local barber. We continued on to the gorge which is located at the south-east corner of Daintree National Park. It was very busy with cars parked along the side of the access road. A boardwalk provides access to a lookout on the bank of the Mossman River and another on the Rex Creek suspension bridge. We continued on to do the 2km circuit walk around the rainforest. Cooper braved the cold water and had a swim at the Wurumbu Creek. On the return walk Rick had a dip in the Mossman River. We headed back into Mossman to the local park and cooked some sausages for lunch. We got back to the van around 4pm.
