Mission Beach
This place was nice, it had seen a bit of damage from the recent cyclone. So it was interesting to see all the broken vegetation and trees, the houses were not damaged much or were repaired already in this area. We checked out the beach which was across the road from our accomadation and looked around. It was cool gray weather so it wasn't busy there at all. We fooled around with coconuts for a bit that were everywhere (probably blown out of the trees). After climbing one I tried knocking down some that looked to be the right color for eating (the expert that I am from watching "lost on a deserted island" type movies). We opened one that was orange and it was not ripe yet, green was the color I remembered from the movies but the only green ones I could see were small, also unripe. I had given up because all the good ones were probably blown out of the trees, and then I saw them! There was a bunch of green ones splotched with brown that I was eyeballing. After I knocked them out with some grounded coconuts we set to work on them. They are a lot of work with no tools and no knowledge of how to open them. We figued it out finally and enjoyed the fruit of our labors. We were only here for a night and the beginning half of the day because we were moving on to Cairns...
