Remember K-Tel? All those wonderful ads? That great slogan, "But wait, there's more". Steak knives, all sorts of other crap you had no use for would be chucked in with the original piece of crap, all for one low price that you could even pay in easy instalments. Or was that just an Australian thing?
Anyway, the Cormanus Chronicles are a bit like K-tel. Just when you think the end is nigh and you can get up to pour a drink or make a cup of tea, the cry goes up, "But, wait, there's more!"
Port Douglas to Ayr
10 May 2019
Master Map
We turned for home, enjoying a morning ride south along the coast road to the third great motorcycle road of the trip: the Kennedy Highway from Cairns to Kuranda.
The Kennedy Highway
South on the coast road
I had a milestone coming up, and I was imagining pulling over to get the shots, but as it turned out, I was on the Kuranda Road with corners everywhere and nothing resembling a shoulder to come to rest on. I managed a poor shot with lanyard cam.

Then it was along the beautiful Atherton Tablelands to Atherton for breakfast, Malanda again for fuel and down off the range to Innisfail. That was the 4th great road; a really good ride down the range.
For some reason I took few photos of what turned out to be a long afternoon on the main highway. There was an okay view of Hinchinbrook Island as we passed through Cardwell.
By the time we reached Ayr, it was spitting rain and we just managed to pitch our tents before it set in. It was light, mercifully, and stopped during the night.
