We had a bit of a sleep-in, and then went into town to the Saturday Market. The market was held on the foreshore, and consisted of about 7 stalls. We bought some novels for Thomas, and walked around having a look at the other stalls. Then Darren saw Katie (Harris, Teresa’s niece) and said hello. We stopped and chatted for a while, swapping phone numbers with the idea of maybe catching up for a bbq tea another night. Then Thomas saw a man with a baby kangaroo wrapped in a blanket. He was able to have a hold of the joey, and we took a picture.
After the market, we went to Grassy Hill Lookout and admired the 360 degree views of Cooktown. From there we went to the Captain Cook Museum, and spent a couple of hours looking at the exhibits. It was very interesting reading the diary entries of Captain Cook and some of the other people on the Endeavour. Meanwhile, Mitch and Thomas tried to crack the safe without success. |

The cemetery was our next stop, and it was very interesting walking around reading the headstones, some of which had interesting historical stories attached. We searched everywhere for the grave that Harry had told Mitch to find, but in the end we had to ring Harry to find out which one he meant.
That afternoon Hawthorn was playing and the game was on tv, so we headed back to the house. Hawthorn won easily which set a happy mood in the house. The boys decided to try their luck fishing off the rocks, and I went for a walk along the beach, collecting a few stones and shells as I went. No luck with the fishing again, so we headed back to the house and had some tea, then sat down and watched a movie before bed.
