A visit to Cliff and Marj’s place is always lovely. The bushland setting is great as are the birds that visit. The blue-winged kookaburra is not one of Marj’s favourites due to his hunting ofLæs mere

I put Lake Proserpine/ Peter Faust Dam on the list as a place to camp. The reports suggested it was a great free camp but apparently not for much longer. Camp Kanga just down the road was a paidLæs mere

This stop was a farm stay within easy reach of Bowen. We had visited Bowen before but this time stayed a little longer in the area. Usually it was a lunch stop. I really loved the lagoon.

Now I had never wanted to stay in Townsville but we decided to give it a shot. The walks around Ross River are a credit to this town and, of course, the take off point for Magnetic Island. Be preparedLæs mere

Never before had we stayed at Ingham. Definitely worth a stop to explore the area.

A lovely free camp within walking distance from town. It is popular so not always easy to find a spot.

Now this place had been on my list for some time. It was a magical place but we had to cope with the leeches. The birds I found more than made up for the leeches, a few of which were only found inLæs mere

This is quite a nice camp for an overnight stop. The birds in the tree tops the next morning was a delightful start to the morning.

We had never before stayed in Cooktown but it was worth the stop. We even managed to evade the rain. It was certainly worth the time to stay a while. I spotted a number of birds.
