Travel: Mission Reef Resort
Mission Reef Resort is a quaint little place in Mission Beach. It’s low frills, yet priced well. Out of all the places we stayed, it had the least amenities, but for two nights it was worth it!

They had a BBQ and Mission Beach is home to some of the best Thai food we’ve ever had, so we didn’t need to cook…

Travel: Mount Tyson
Mount Tyson – one of the most difficult hikes I’ve ever done. Not only was it a full 4 hours, we spent about 3 of those hours going up, and took us about an hour to get down. It’s a workout, that’s for sure! Mount Tyson The sign upon entry mentions that it’s difficult and you should be an experienced bushwalker. This is one of the first times my level of fitness matched the sign. Usually we walk or hike faster than the sign indicates,…

Travel: Mossman Gorge
The Mossman Gorge – it’s a part of the Daintree National Forest which is a rainforest. Okay, let’s check out some photos from out hike! Mossman Gorge First, we picked up our rental car after snorkelling the Great Barrier Reef and the first thing we did was head the 75 minutes north from Cairns to the rainforest.
