Our GAdventures tour ended this morning with a transfer from Port Douglas to the Cairns airport. We opted to spend an extra three days at Cape Tribulation before flying to Sydney to join our eclipse tour. So we rented a car at the airport and spent three days driving on the "wrong" side of the road. Fortunately, our rental had an automatic transmission.

| Vinegar is the recommended first aid for jellyfish stings - followed immediately by medical attention. These vinegar posts were common on popular beaches. |

| A beach protected by a "stinger net". Unfortunately, on this day, the beach was still considered too dangerous for swimming. |

Cape Tribulation Beach
We were staying at the Cape Trib Beach House, which has beach access from cabins nestled in the rainforest. It's at the very end of the paved road.
