PORT DOUGLAS
A holidaymakers paradise, Port
Douglas is heavily populated with
tourists, but the town is worth
checking out if you’ve got time.


PALM COVE
A unique, quiet and relaxing village
by the sea where centuries old
“paperbark” Melaleuca trees line
the casual esplanade, you’d almost
think you’re on a tropical island
somewhere. Palm Cove is a tropical
paradise which numerous world
class and award winning beach
resorts, restaurants and spas. So if
I were you I would say to hell with
riding back to Cairns just yet and set
up in Palm Cove. Or is that Alana
telling me that?!


SMITHFIELD
Almost the same as Gordonvale
where you’re back to ‘suburbia’
and the outer reaches of Cairns
itself. This is also where the main
route joins back in to head back
into Cairns. D


THE BEST The Pitstop Café, situated on the
Mount Mee tourist drive, receives
tourists, day travellers, bikers, clubs
and locals alike. The Pitstop has
perfect views with great coffee and
excellent food.
