Living life as a retiree can be a lot of fun. We have a great respect for monetary values and we know how to pack a picnic lunch.
Dining in Douglas Daintree can be an expensive and sometimes a crowded affair at lunch time.
A major part of the expense is the prices charged for wine. (It is unusual to find a bottle of wine under $30 on the wine lists.)
