Dusty Martin day at the Crocs AFL oval and Port Douglas Carnivale were two of the highlights of our May photos, as Douglas Shire emerged from the wet season and ready to party.

Newsport’s photographers captured many of the big moments from last month, and this gallery is a selection of the best from across the district.

If you have any photos for the June gallery, email to [email protected].
