Mourilyan Harbour.

  The harbour is formed at the mouth of the Moresby River which empties into the sea between two steep, heavily timbered hills.

  From a distance the entrance is unseen. The entrance is narrow, the harbour is small and big ships come in to load bulk sugar.

  As luck had it towards dusk a ship, assisted by two tugs, came in. It was an interesting experience to watch and listen to (on ships radio) the ship's entry, being turned 180 and docked.

  From Mourilyan we headed for Cairns via Turtle Bay. It took a while at Cairns to get land legs back as we had been anchored off since Townsville.
