Our trip from Cairns to Cooktown was a really good day through the Daintrees Rainforest (separate posting), the Bloomfield Track (Separate posting), Lions Den Hotel (separate posting) and Black Mountain (separate posting).
Our accommodation at Cooktown was the lovely Sovereign Resort which was central to town. We had queensize rooms with balconies, ensuites and modern resort facilities such as swimming pool, guest laundry, restaurant and bar. It was a very comfortable place to stay over.
We had time to have a look around the town including the museum and waterfront which of course highlighting Captain Cook and the Endeavour Ship. We also took a drive up to Grassy Hill lookout which has spectacular views of Cooktown. It was a very historical place & interesting to visit.
When we left Cooktown the next day heading for Musgrave, we stopped at the Cemetery to view some very historical graves of the early settlers. Some of the monuments were very large but there was one that we noticed that was a simple metal tool pushed into the ground with a tin plaque scratched in hand (not readable through age) & sitting on the top was a set of false teeth.
