Missing the waves yet Bigdude?????

I know how u loved getting ur photo taken with the japanese tourists at the neck

Greetings,

If you want a hire car while up here ring Peter from Palm Cove Car Rental, he looks after kite surfers really well. During your time up here do try and make a trip out to Green Island, if conditions are right it is a spectacular environment with some friendly spots for the family to swim and snorkel. Yorkeys can get some nice little waves along the shore, south of the rigging area, and for some flat water joy, you can quickly upwind to the creek. If you rock up to the rigging area on a windy day there will be plenty of locals for you to chat with, a real friendly bunch up here.

Nah, the sharks scare 'em off.

hi Gilly ya missing the waves, we have been getting a few small waves with the cyclone, you coming up hey this year?

Port Douglas has very open beaches , crocs as a rule are pretty shy creatures that prefer a bit of mangrove area , finding one on a beach around people is a very rare event . You should be fine going for a kite . There are things to be aware of though in croc country , stay clear of river mouths where there is a lot of mangroves , stay away from creek banks during half light (dawn/dusk ) and if you are camping , camp away from saltwater rivers / creeks , and dispose of any food stuffs / fish / bait etc well away from camp area , and ask for local knowledge as any resident crocs are usually well known . Happy holiday !

HaHa ! That's a good point ! They are an ambush predator though so typically a noisy active area is not a good place to hunt . Crocs usually take birds , turtles , wounded fish and animals roaming river banks , don't exhibit behaviour that makes you look like prey and you've got nothing to worry about !
