Stayed in Cook Town for 3 nights. Arrived there in the afternoon on the 4th (thursday) went to an information bay out at the Botanical Gardens and then found camp at the Peninsula caravan park. On the 5th (friday) we started the day off by going to the Grassy hill lighthouse look out which had a fantastic view and is 500ft above sea level. We then went to the James Cook Museum which was pretty interesting, had a big lunch at Cook Town cafe (the burgers were massive). We then went to the National Archives, had a walk around the town and went to the wharf for fish and chips. On the 6th (saturday) we went to the saturday morning markets, they were a typical little country town market with quite a few hippy and feral looking people there and also has a musical boat close by. We then went fishing at the Endeabour River, one of the boys caught a rock cod and another one caught a finger mark. After that we went to Trebethan Falls which was freezing cold! But all of us kids still went for a swim (except Daniel) and some of the adults jumped in too. The only problem that happened in Cook Town is when we got robbed. On the second night at the caravan park some guy from town came out with his hood on and took all of mums notes out of her purse. She didn't notice until we started to go to the waterfall and dad wasnt a happy chap (at all). When we got back from the waterfall dad went to get pissed but he couldn't even do that because they took the bottle of Jack Daniels as well. Bit weird that they didnt take all the technology though..
