Headed to Mareeba stopping off at the Barron Falls at Kuranda. Coffee Works at Mareeba. What a wonderful place. For a reasonable fee you can sample without limit 16 different types of coffee, 4 different types of tea, 12 different types of chocolate and 3 different types of liquer. Oh if only I hadn't driven. There is also a very interesting and comprehensive museum of all things coffee from early espresso machines, coffee grinders, filters etc and also a section with a collection of tea pots through the ages and from different countries.
After spending several hours here we went into Mareeba to have a snack before visiting the tourist information centre where we found yet another museum with a very good collection of memorabilla and displays relating to history and life in the local area.
Returned to the caravan park in time to change and depart for our sunset cruise and dinner on Trinity Inlet. The cruise was excellent with nibbles and champagne. On returning to the marina 90 minutes later we walked over to Dundee's restaurant for the dinner. Wonderful dinner, fantastic staff and service. An excellent end to the day.
