After a hearty breakfast we spend most of the day exploring historic Cooktown , visiting the recently revamped historic museum, which shows history of the Aboriginals, Captain Cook and his ship The Endeavour, early pioneers like gold prospectors and the 30,000 population of chinese that once lived there. From Grassy Hill Look-out, we view the surrounding township and countryside, whilst contemplating the task Captain Cook had in negotiating the reefs when he arrived in 1770. Driving south we stop at the amazing Black Mountain area, then call in at the rustic Lions Den Pub.
