Australia’s Best Roads: The Captain Cook Highway (Port Douglas to Cairns)

[@cahalhayes9192]

Good man paddy you out did your self on this one . I love the way you have the history of the places you visit. The scenery and road looks beautiful keep safe buddy

[@PaddyOutback]

Thanks man. I’m a bit of a geek for that kind of stuff but I reckon it helps the videos!

It is a great ride and you picked a awesome day to do it. Great drone work and views. True that, there are some of the best riding roads up here. Having said that, there are a number hum dinger roads down south to ride. Good one, Paddy. Ride well. Cheers

[@PaddyOutback]

I’m hoping to get down south soon-ish as I’ve not really spent much time in SE QLD. I’ll see how I go later this year!

[@Moz42]

@@PaddyOutback I was more thinking NSW, VIC and Tassie. Check out my recent vid re The Map. Cheers

[@PaddyOutback]

@@Moz42 Ah, yes. I used live in Victoria so I know how good it is down there. I have done some riding down there, mostly on a rented CF Moto!

[@HippoDrones]

A cracking road indeedy! 🙂 I love coastal roads on a bike! 🙂

[@PaddyOutback]

It’s a good one, even if it always manages to piss me off somehow!

[@-DHR4870]

Yep. It's a stunner 👍👌☀️

A beautiful part of the world 👍 Last time I drove it decades ago, a cane truck threw a rock up through my windscreen. It sure looked weird as we had to drive back to Cairns that night wearing sunglasses as protection from the few shards of glass that kept peppering us as it dislogded from the carpet the previous owner had glued to hide the cracked dashboard 😎😎😂

[@PaddyOutback]

Jesus, that would have made the day interesting alright. So many people have a “story” from that road. It’s brilliant but it seems to cause a bit of damage!

[@seanstrehle6312]

Nice day for a ride I'm so jealous 😁

[@PaddyOutback]

Was glorious weather. Was about 22° when I filmed that. Perfect riding temperature, I reckon.

Litter is honestly one of the things that pisses me off most in the world. Like how can you be that bloody useless and lazy. Hahaha how the hell did the car even manage that tho? Like....why? Traffic ruins lives, I heard it even made the baby jesus cry. It is a very pretty road. You can park wherever you like technically, they might just charge you money for it in the shape of a fine :P

[@PaddyOutback]

Shits me to tears. That spot had the world’s oldest rainforest on one side and the Great Barrier Reef on the other and some clown decides that taking their shit with them is too bloody hard. The height of laziness. It’s a great road, definitely. If it was empty it would be one of the best on the planet. It’s never empty though! Well I didn’t get fined so it was free!

[@TheGorillaBiker]

@@PaddyOutback like there is no excuse for littering ever if you can manage to bring it there in the first place....but that is so much worse!!! I'm telling ya, we just need to ban cars during the weekend. Everyone would be happier. Hahaha chalk it up as a win so 😂

[@PaddyOutback]

Certain roads should have blanket car bans at weekends, definitely! What a class idea.

This is more like it, this road is already ruined. Advertise stuff like this and keep the good stuff between you and your actual friends
