I was born & bred in South Africa & my parents did a wonderful job of showing us as much of our country as possible. I now live in Australia and can’t wait to take my Aussie husband to SA to share the magic with him. I definitely want to take him to Etosha in Namibia though, because of all the places & game reserves we went to in Southern Africa nowhere was as magic as Etosha. The game viewing is brilliant, and the scenery is amazing. Namibia has made me love deserts.

Port Douglas is in the Douglas Shire, which is probably the only area in the world where two world heritage places meet. The Daintree Rainforest comes down to the coast and the Great Barrier Reef comes into land. There is so much to do and see around here. There’s the rainforest, you can go crocodile spotting on the Daintree River, see cassowaries on the drive through the Daintree to Cape Tribulation, go snorkelling or scuba diving on the Great Barrier Reef, plus we have amazing beaches (including Four Mile Beach in Port Douglas). The major industries here are tourism, sugar cane farming and fishing. The cane on the hills really adds to the beauty of the area. I’ve attached a photo of Mossman Gorge where my husband proposed.
