To Cape Tribulation

A big one planned today. Up and moving earlyish after a chat with a bloke who is also from Newcastle. Heaps of wallabies on the road out to Laura, they're so small and love darting around. Also a lot of what we think are Brolgas, they're huge! Never seen one before! Ben had to slow right down for a wild pig, the first alive one we've seen, a big boy who ran across the road into the bush. First stop was the Split Rock Gallery, where local Indigenous artwork is along the protected rock walls. It is one of the top 10 most significant rock art sites in the world. There were 3 art sites and it was just under 400m to the furtherst one, mostly up rock steps though. The Art was wonderfully preserved. We had a quick stop at Lions den, arriving at 11am, but they don't do lunch until midday, so we made ourselves wraps and continued on. The Bloomfield track was easy compared to the others we've done. It had some steep sections that had been concreted for traction and all of the creek crossings were dry as it's late in the season. A nice drive though, much better than the longer way on the highway. The weather is pretty overcast and cool in Cape tribulation. We did the Kulki and Dubuji boardwalks through the rainforest and onto the beaches. We were making good time so popped into PKs jungle village for a drink and to check out the menu for dinner options. We're staying at Cape Trib campgrounds tonight, a nice spot. Quick set up and charged our phones as we have service again. They have the Sand Bar on site who do pizzas, so that's dinner made easy. The rain came down while we were eating then stopped for a bit, the forecast isn't looking fab.もっと詳しく
