Charlotte the shopper!



Port Douglas

Here is a few hundred pictures from our family holiday in Port Douglas..... they are in no particular order as it was taking my mum forever to acutally organise!! As you all probably noticed given that it is nearly August and the holiday was in May!!


We went for ten days and were accompanied by our good friends Stuart, Kimberley, Lucas and Alicia. We had a fantastic time!!

This was on the last day in the foyer of the apartments where we stayed. Dad and Stuart were finishing off the beers that were left and it was only 11am!




Just a gorgeous picture of me!



The team! This is where we stayed. Very family orientated which was perfect!


Just lounging in the sun!


At times it was a bit chilly!


A sensational view of the 4 mile beach


With this fabulous view..... who would ever want to go home!



The walkway to heaven!


One of the many views from the apartments were we stayed.


The pool!


Kids playground in the distance and the sunlounges. Somedays it was a struggle to chose which one to lay in!


In the evenings when us kids finally went to bed the mums and dads had lots to drink and played a variety of board games and card games!



The two chefs.



I had a field day playing with my dad in the pool. I pushed him in.....

over and over again!


Two drowned rats!


Alicia just loved the water!


Some time out in the apartment. I introduced Lucas to the Wiggles!



Somedays Stuart was just my favorite person!


(as mentioned earlier.... these photo's are in a terrible order) This is the magnificnet view taken from the skyrail that we went on.


The Daintree Forrest



A daytrip to the Daintree!


Mum with a beautiful butterfly. Its wings were made of gold..... It cost us a fortune to enter this enclosure!


The same butterfly! I was not too keen on holding it myself.



Mum could not resist in taking a photo of the man with our sign at the airport. She said that she had never had that before!

Alicia and I just hanging out!



Alicia strapped into a dodgey ass car seat on our way to Port Douglas from Cairns!



The main drag of Port Douglas...so beautiful and green!



A view of the beach via the lookout!



THE KURANDA SCENIC RAILWAY


On one of our ten days in Port Douglas we decided to take a train ride into the Daintree and then a skyrail back. It was awesome!





A BIG BREAKFAST



Lucas with his pancakes and.....


Charlotte with her bacon and sauce!

THE RAINFOREST HABITAT WILDLIFE SANCTUARY



We spent half a day at the santuary in which we also had lunch with the lorakeets! This was so much fun seeing all of the animals. My favorite was the kangaroo's. I even got to feed them!

This lorakeet was so friendly. It was eating a grape right from my Mum's hand!!



This was a big and scary crocodile!


Me with my new best friends! The kangaroos!


They were so friendly!


If you look very closely then you will be able to see a little turtle.


A baby croc..... or maybe it is an alligator! I can't remember!


A cockatoo



Jusy checking it all out! It was a fabulous day!




CANE TOAD RACES!


Mum and Dad went to the pub one night while Kimberley and Stuart looked after me and they saw some cane toads racing! Mum said that they were slippery little suckers!







A ROMANTIC CRUISE!


Before Mum and Dad saw the cane toad races they went out on this boat for a romantic cruise to watch the sunset and drink champagne. They told me that it was absolutely breathtaking!!











THE GREAT BARRIER REEF
















THE FOUR MILE BEACH








Goodbye Port Douglas!
