CAIRNS DGR

down the ranges, the DGR ride is mainly meant to raise public awareness; so we straddled the Esplanade mid-morning where people had their breakfast (or brunch?) and enjoying the Far North QLD atmosphere.

Riding up the iconic Capt Cook Hwy to Ellis Beach is always a pleasure, a few twisties to warm up and get the five (or six?) senses going. Ellis Beach claims to be QLD’s cleanest beach, is it? We did not check the beachside but focused on the Bar & Grill which is a fantastic venue, it really seems the new proprietors are truly investing into making this a prime stopover for local weekenders and tourists alike.

dressed in rags but we consider that fake news. Mightier people than us have used that argument in their defence, some more successful than others (who shall all remain unnamed).“

Heading back into town via the Northern Beaches with their own attractions and beautiful beachside resorts, we aimed for Macalister’s Brewery in Smithfield, for their Sunday arvo live music session. They put on a great bike and car show, live entertainment and an interesting variety of craft beers. Unusual for us we stuck to lemon, lime & bitter (bitterly so…) but got rewarded with best-dressed couple (the AMX voucher will go towards an intercom upgrade!). Some say, that was an easy win with the others
