Daintree Coast Weekly Report 28/7 - 2/8

Although most of last week was windy, the weather improved on the weekend with calm winds and sunshine. I went out in the boat and Coral Trout is once again on the menu!

The wind is forecast to strengthen on Tuesday and Wednesday, but not to the previous levels and the weather is forecast to be fine most of the week. The early part of the week in particular looks like it will be glorious weather.

The forest is looking great and there have been lots of good croc sightings on river cruises and nightwalks again this week. The nights are cool and this is a great time for those who don’t like insects to visit.
