Cooktown Waterfront Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
Cooktown(Gungardie)Kuku Yalanji Land❤️💛🖤
Getting There - There are two main routes for getting to Cooktown from Cairns including a 331km inland route which takes 4 hours to complete as well as a 234km coastal route which, despite being shorter in length, takes up to 6 hours to complete but rewards you with some amazing scenery. For the inland route, begin by taking the Kennedy Highway out of Cairns, passing through the scenic town of Kuranda before continuing on to Mareeba. From here, take the Mulligan Highway north, allowing time to stop at the many scenic lookouts along the way for stunning views of the lush valleys and sparse hillsides.
Attractions - A breathtakingly beautiful and still relatively unspoilt region of the Cape York Peninsula, the remoteness of Cooktown is at once part of its attraction, as is its long and fascinating history from its early Aboriginal inhabitants to the arrival of Captain Cook on the Endeavour River in 1770. Home to a raw beauty that makes it one of the last true wilderness frontiers in Australia, there are limited options for getting to Cooktown, with the most common method being to drive.
Hotels - Would highly recommend Coral Sea Allure - Your Home Away From Home, Best view of the Cooktown river and best view of the sunrise and sunset in the morning and afternoon and a perfect location close to the markets and town.
Food & Restaurants - Bektopia is the closest breakfast shop to your Airbnb with affordable prices and fresh rice bowls and toasted wraps with your choice of coffee or smoothies absolutely delicious and in town there is a variety of options to choose from for your lunch or dinner.
Shopping - There are many souvenir, gift shops, indigenous art galleries and a museum in Cooktown, A convenient store and a couple of fuel stations and of course the Aussie favourite is the pubs 🍻 there isn’t really much for shops because it’s a small town but the view and the quiet historical area is really something 💕

Mount Cook Walking Track Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
🇳🇿 Mount Cook trekking trail, New Zealand
#wheretogo
The Hooker Valley Track in Mount Cook National Park is one of the best short walks in New Zealand. It is flat, fairly easy and offers stunning views of some of the best lakes and peaks in Mount Cook National Park. To start, we drove to the end of Mount Cook Road, found White Horse Hill Campground and just followed the signs to the track starting point. Along the trail, we also crossed the most beautiful suspension bridges in New Zealand! This is the kind of scenery that's unique to New Zealand!
