Sunset from Riverbend Tours

Riverview tours collected me and 30 other travellers at the Cooktown Wharf for a cruise along the Endeavor river and up the Jetty and back to watch the sunset and then the Fireworks as part of the Cooktown Festival. I was the only single and shared a table with 2 couples and it was very relaxed and friendly.

We went around the wharf area as the sky darkened, and Nick who ran the tour spoke about the buildings on the wharf and some of the history of the area. Then we went down the river spotlighting the mangroves. We saw one fish jumping out of the water reflected in the spotlight. Somewhere down the line we moored and shared a cheese platter with the tables lit with bottled cork lights. It was very pretty

Then we returned to the wharf are and watched the fireworks and that was the end. I walked back along the shore after to the RSL and waited for Bethne to pick me up.
