Flag of Australia  , Monday, November 20, 2006  After leaving
the glitze and glamour of Port Douglas I went as far as the
buses would take me - to the end of the road. Seriously. The
sealed road ends (paved) and from Cape Trib on up the coast the
whole way to Cape York it is all dirt roads. The paved road
ending is quite exciting because it is at a creek and only large
4 x 4s or stupid tourists even attempt crossing it.  I went to
this creek because it happens to be a beautiful fresh water
swimming hole with a nice cliff to jump off of. (remember those
bloody jelly fish kept me out of the ocean). As I, and four
other tourists), were walking through the rainforest to reach
the nice jumping off point we happened upon a creature straight
out of a time machine. This animal is as confused as many of the
other Aussie animals. Poor platypuses (platypi?) are a cross
duck, beaver and kangar
