Shah, why would you leave from Mareeba and go to Port Douglas? You'd be better off going out past Mt Carbine. You'd be sure to find a spot, the drive will be easier and the weather prospects much better. Bobs Lookout 25km past Mt Carbine is a good location. There may also be some public or private viewing areas - Bustard Downs is one I've heard of.
