Top landmarks in Cooktown

How some live! Endeavour River #NationalPark in Cooktown, #Australia - about a year ago, just 3 weeks after Cyclone Ita ravaged the area. Most of this park is accessible only by boat and that's how I was able to take this photo with my iPhone5s. Took a little tin boat tour of the Endeavour River. Saw a wide variety of spectacular mangroves, a few boat wrecks and this moored yacht. It was peaceful and undeveloped; the boat operator said that there were about 35 different species of mangrove. If one is in #FarNorthernQueensland, the tour is worth taking and just 3 of us in the boat. Unfiltered #iPhoneonly #IloveaSunburntCountry #roadtrip Cairns to Cooktown!

Endeavour River National Park

If you like spending time outside, then spend the day at Endeavour River National Park, located 3.2 mi (5.2 km) from central Cooktown. Want to stretch your legs some more? Head to Cooktown Botanic Gardens and Keatings Lagoon Conservation Park, both nearby.
