A Hop-Heads Road Trip
For a long time the road north out of the Cairns CBD has been home to some of the most photographed vistas in the world, past the rainforest clad Macalister Range and Mowbray National Park, through the Rex Lookout where the hang-gliders throw themselves off with reckless abandon, winding its way to Port Douglas, Mossman, Bonnie Doon and beyond (not the same Bonnie Doon that was immortalised in the...

I was anxious about going down...
