Mossom, Queensland

Mossman in Northern Queensland in the tropics is a rural town in the Shire of Douglas.  It is the administrative center for the Douglas Shire Council.  In the 2021 census, the population of the area was 1,935 people. 

The area is known for sugar farming and exotic fruit farming. There is a beautiful gorge there also.  A lovely hospital which I was unfortunate to visit as I had a fall (tripped) further up north and had to return on the barge to get across the river to be treated.  I was ok and it happened ages ago as in several year, had grazes and gravel in my wounds which had to be pulled out, but I survived well.  Broke the camera lens and had to buy another further down south where there was a camera shop.

First photo - the toilet block. Second one, a Church. 4th a children's playground.

The Royal Hotel once a thriving business, now closed, has been burnt down and hasn't been rebuilt.  It's good for me that I took the photo of a building that once was.

Another trip to Bridport.

And another Birthday for me today.

This is another area in Bridport and we got out and went for a short walk.  You can see the dingy just beyond that yellow sign I waited till it came further into shore as you can see in the second photo.

The seagulls were having a great old time there with the fish, they certainly kept me entertained.  Then I captured a tiny little wild flower in the last photo. 

You can see Bridport at the top of the map.
