Cooktown is normally a very windy place but for the 2 days we were there it was so calm. Cooktown was a picture. We were most pleasantly surprised. It is very historic with its old buildings and landmarks of Captain Cook and crew. It is a beautiful place.....though, I'd say, because of its remoteness we came across a few strange people......but we were only visiting as most others are who come to Cooktown.
