Catching up with the kangaroos on our afternoon walk along the beach.
There are many walks to do, the Andrews Point track is a good one to do.
Quite night then up early at 6:00am to see the kangaroos at sunrise 🌄

Good place for a 3 day stop to reset before heading to Cairns.
Started in the main street at KC’s bar & grill for great steaks, food and cocktail selections.
Unfortunately hasn’t stopped raining since last night so we are exploring as best we can and found this amazing cafe called George’s styled as a 1950’s diner at Conway beach, an absolute must when up this way.
We then to a place called The Landing at the end of Glen Island road Proserpine to spot the local crocodiles 🐊 unfortunately they didn’t show but it was a good adventure., see what tomorrow holds.

We were booked into Etta Bay caravan park a beautiful little place on the beach where the cassowaries roam the park.
When then they gave us our site it was on the grass that was a total boggy area ant the last van and car had made it a total mess 6” deep mud holes so we decided not to stay and found a last minute spot in Innisfail at River Drive van park on the main road ( great amenities but not the best but had to make do).
Great dinner in the Crown hotel.
Badinda bakery for a coffee stop

What a beautiful old place, the buildings are awesome, did a little walk around the town checking out the historic places, stock exchange, a few hotels, Court house hotel with Irish Molly’s bar & grill for a cheeky drink and looks like dinner is happening here too.
Up to Towers hill for a walk to the top and a beautiful sunset.En savoir plus

Voyageur I think all the tourists may be in Western Australia, no crowds where you are.
12/07/2022Répondre
Voyageur I think I agree, although all the caravan parks are fully booked out everywhere we have been and everywhere we are going.

Well not much to say about here, a pub with a very average caravan park (drive through site was great to stay hitched up) good pub food, a petrol station and not much else.
Drinks on the veranda before our walk around town but that took about 45 minutes in total.
Just another quick overnight to NT to get into our main trip.
WA here we come.En savoir plus

Arrived here and found our site on grass and in a great spot.
The owners are great and so easy about everything.
We did the walking track up to the top of the hill overlooking the station site and then off to the water hole, billabong (2.5 klms) not a lot of water in it but still a nice place to visit.
Went back and met some friends at the fire pit for happy hour drinks near the bar while damper was cooked and cut up and given to everyone.En savoir plus

Daly Waters Pub
16 juillet 2022, Australie ⋅ ☀️ 24 °C
Last overnight stop before Katherine, vans lined up at 10:15am and park half full already.
Booked our beef and barra dinner tonight, great food and high quality.
I can’t believe how busy this is, if your not here by around 11-12 you won’t get a powers spot, if any.
We did the John Stuart heritage trail (only short) and read about his explorations in setting up a land communication lines across Australia and the rest of the world, very interesting read.
You have to get to happy hour at around 5:00 pm as the owner (we think) does a great talk about the area and the history of Daly Waters with his horse that walks through the bar.
Great night at the pub, music meeting people and having a few drinks, it’s like this every night apparently.En savoir plus
