The green moss on the rocks proved to be extremely slippery when wet. The personal cost of taking this picture was a bashed right knee, a grazed left elbow and wet feet.

Mossman Gorge
A cooling retreat from the 32oC heat in downtown Port Douglas, Mossman Gorge offers rainforest walks and a waterhole for swimming. Not many people opted for the 2km circuit walk up the side of the gorge down to the creek and back up again. The earthy smells of fertile soil, decaying vegetation and unpolluted air was intoxicating.
