When I came to Cairns on holiday back in 1999 I spent a couple of days at Cape Tribulation, and walked along the start of the Bloomfield Track as far as Emmagen Creek before wandering back along the beaches. Today I returned to the Bloomfield Track for the first time since moving here in 2000, this time in a Toyota Prado four-wheel drive and getting up to Bloomfield and Ayton.

| The southern end of South Cowie Beach |
The scenic highlight was South Cowie Beach, notable for the mangroves standing in the shallows off the beach. On our northward leg there were three or four groups there, with a couple of people swimming in the shallow, crystal clear waters. Fortunately it's likely a little early for box jellyfish. Dropping in while southbound we found just an aboriginal couple setting up a tent in the dunes.
