Blog EntryThe DaintreeJun 4, '07 4:03 AM
for everyone
    Well I went on this day tour to the Daintree and it was excellent. When we got to the Mossman Gorge, we were told by the tour guide that we had 25 minutes to go on a bushwalk along the designated trails and that we were not to go across the swing bridge as we had to be back at the bus at 4:55pm
Simple. However, this dumbie went over the footbridge and walked and walked and walked. Eventually I ran out of track and time. Then came dumb mistake No.2 -  I decided to go overland, making for the mossman river - a thunderous white river roar it was. I soon learnt that it was not easy in rainforest as everything you grabbed for support was either rotten or a vile nettle. anyhow, I got down to the river, climbed up onto a large flat rock and decided to go to sleep ha!  I had picked the hardest rock in Australia and no matter how hard I tried it just wouldn't fit my back. Strange that. Anyhow, just as I was falling into an involuntary exhausted sleep, the bullfrogs started. just like being caught in a traffic jam with every car playing its own loud music on the sub woofer (bass). and this was on top of the river's deafening roar - I reckon the ABC should read this for they said" I just sat on a rock and waited to be rescued"  Ha! So cold and wet and shivering (I had stumbled across and into 2 creeks  on the way) I watched the moon go around 260? degrees until the sun came up. I decided that scrambling over the rocks towards the road was useless so I went overland again not grabbing hold of nettle palms - my hands and arms were already bloodied from the day before. I eventually came across  the walking track!! after awhile and was heading back towards the car park. I came across the SES and very helpful police on the way and we got back to the car park. Drama over. I can only humbly thank my God for I declared it a time of fasting to my God. So I never got hungry or panicked, no Crocodiles or wild pigs, my spirit was buoyed as the reporter testified and drama over. Thanks be to my God through my Lord Jesus Christ.  Amen and again, I say Amen. Also, the ambulance guy found nothing wrong with me either. To be fair, I gave no interview to the media and they just gleaned what they could.
