    WW2 trail

    2022年8月22日, オーストラリア ⋅ ⛅ 27 °C

    We pushed our alarm back an hour today, but Ben was still stirring beforehand. Another cruisy day ahead. We went through our laundry from the day before last, the rain came through before we had a chance to go through it all and put it away properly. Slow packup and headed for Bamaga. We found the Bakery which a lot of people hype up, got ourselves a crocodile pie and a regular sausage roll to share. They were pretty good! We followed the hema to do the ww2 trek today. We found 2 plane wrecks and a fuel dump site which took us a bit to realise was a historic location and not people just dumping a heap of 44 gallon drums. We looped back and headed for Muttee Head. The track kept going to the Jardine River mouth where it flows into the Arafura Sea, so we followed it and found a nice spot to stop and cook up some noodles. Back on the soft, sandy track to Muttee Head and the WW2 radar. We had to put the maxtrax to use for their intended purpose instead of levelling the ute out at campsites. We went through a large, soft patch, I smacked my head on the handle and we got stuck. Ben got us sorted though and we were moving in no time. Good thing he attached the lanyards, he couldn't see the little ones at all. We found the ww2 radar, the only one standing on the mainland. A quick drive by Muttee Head, looks like a lovely camping spot. We headed back via Injinoo, just to have a look. They have construction going on near the beach to create a picnic area, otherwise its very much a local town.もっと詳しく

    Alau campground

    2022年8月22日, オーストラリア ⋅ ☁️ 26 °C

    On to Alau campgrounds for the night, we bumped into Peter and Ellen earlier who are staying here tonight too. We set up not far from them. A very informal booking system? The lady was lovely though. The rain blew in and out all arvo, so we kept swapping from outside to in. Decided to have a few drinks with the others and some other campers. One couple are from Elermore Vale, small world. There are so many dogs around, none have been aggressive at all, but they just roam everywhere looking for scraps. Barely even acknowledging that you're even there. One of the couples said they'd heard that the campground staff don't actively shoo them away as their presence tends to deter any opportunistic thieves which can be quite common apparently. Then the usual evening plans, cooked up dinner, showers and bed.もっと詳しく

    To Seisia - 'say-see-ya'

    2022年8月23日, オーストラリア ⋅ ⛅ 25 °C

    We had a bit of a sleep in today, no massive plans so figured why not. Once organised and packed up, we headed to the supermarket for a few bits and pieces, laundry powder in particular as we didnt pack enough. The ibis supermarket was filled with a lot of woolies branded products so they must have an arrangement there. Next we went to Bamaga tavern, the most northern pub on mainland Australia. We had a drink and ordered schnitzels, they were so good! Seisia holiday park is where were staying for the next 2 nights, our tour tomorrow leaves from the wharf, only a very short walk away. This place is a bit more formal than the last few, I did organise a booking the other day though, whereas the last 2 campgrounds were just rock up and see if you can find a spot, not that we had a drama with that though. We set up and went for a walk down to the jetty, along the water past the non powered campsites, very glad we went with powered this time, those other spots were just a patch of dirt. After saying the dogs don't really acknowledge you, we made a friend and were adopted by such a sweet little girl. She came for a fair walk with us down to the oval, we sat near a community centre trying to use their free wifi and she sat at my feet. We headed back via the Seisia 'food store' where she waited outside. I didn't even pat her, it was so hard but the locals suggest you don't pat/feed them. Such a little sweetie, she came back with us to the campsite and had a nap then off she went. There is a Kiosk near the check in office and we'd scoped out the menu earlier, it looked great and it was verrry busy, a lot of locals in there eating lunch earlier. We decided on the Cray delight pizza and fish and chips to share. They did not skimp on the Cray! They were both so bloody good and our little dog friend found us and sat for a bit until she found another humans feet to sit on. We went for a wander down to the beach for sunset, lots of cloud though so not as pretty as some of the others. The showers here are really nice too, once it was dark we freshened up, then the usual netflix/Disney before bed.もっと詳しく

    3 Island Tour - Horn Island

    2022年8月24日, オーストラリア ⋅ ⛅ 25 °C

    Up and moving early today, even before the damn alarm. A fun start to the day, I thought I'd quickly curl up a few bits of my hair, well, I melted green woolies bag onto one section of my hair after unknowingly resting the curling iron on a bag. So that was fun haha. I brushed some of it out, and Ben cut one small chunk out, no biggie, but luckily it was only a little bit. Once ready, we grabbed our backpack and walked down to the wharf where we met Bill and Carly, our skipper and first mate for the day. We were on the Luna Sea vessel, a bit smaller than we imagined, but happy with it because it meant there weren't many of us crammed onto the boat, 19 of us. It was about an hour to Horn island, our first stop. Bill stopped nearby and went though some local history of the Torres Strait Islands. It was so bizarre when he said that we were closer to Papua New Guinea than Bramwell Station and closer to Indonesia than Cairns. On our way into Horn, the boat stopped and we finally saw our first wild, salt water crocodile, just chilling on the sand. When he slid off into the water it was our time to move. At Horn island, Carly walked us to the Torres Strait Heritage museum where we watched a video and got to explore the artefacts, photos and read local stories. It was a nice amount of time, then we wandered back to the boat for our next destination.

    Somehow we had brief service amongst the islands, yet we lost service at Cooktown on the mainland.    もっと詳しく

    3 Island Tour - Thursday Island

    2022年8月24日, オーストラリア ⋅ ⛅ 28 °C

    It was a quick trip to Thursday Island, we stopped at a Cafe for people to grab a coffee, juice or snack before our taxi tour, that we didn't know was included, bonus! Our driver was a funny bloke, cracking jokes along the way and very informative. He had jokes with Ben about the AFL and NRL, it was good. Also, he's a NSW supporter and everyone else on our bus were Queenslanders, he heckled them a bit too. We cruised past Border force and through the main street. We stopped at Green Hill Fort and got out for a wander. There were concerns about Russia invading in the 1890s? I think it was, so they were preparing just in case. It was a well maintained piece of history. We were taken past the school and many other community buildings. He did take us through the cemetery and told us about the Torres Strait culture of celebrating life and how they unveil headstones, sometimes years later to ensure the whole family can travel and celebrate. We were dropped at the bowling club which was opened specifically for our group, cheap drinks and lunch, Bill told us earlier that often the other pubs are packed and not as efficient. It's also the only waterfront spot to have a drink and lunch. We had burgers, plain and fish, they were great! We moved quickly, as we wanted to get to the Torres Hotel, the geographically most northern Australian pub. Love these records haha. Just a quick one before heading to the Gab Titui Cultural centre which has had a lot of government money poured into it, a lot of the island has actually. After a browse through we headed back to the wharf to keep moving.もっと詳しく

    3 Island Tour - Roko Island

    2022年8月24日, オーストラリア ⋅ ⛅ 28 °C

    About 45mins and a bit of a rough trip, we made it to Roko Island. The jetty itself was wooden, kept afloat by drums, it was very pretty, but wobbly. We met Nigel, a very relaxed fella who told us to grab a drink if we wanted one, then he'd take us for a walk. So we did just that. He showed us around their new facilities and glamping tents, then down to the old stone jetty. Telling us stories about how he often goes crabbing there, for years in fact and one time he went down to check his traps, it was dark and a 3-4m crocodile had made its way into the mangroves to take his bait, said it scared the shit out of him, understandably. He gave us some local history about the island being a former pearl farm and with how labour intensive it is, it just isn't worth it these days. The island itself is only about 900m by 300m at its widest points. We headed back to the bar to relax while Nigel took a second boat group for a walk. A very relaxing spot, but unless you're a keen fisherman, I think we'd get a bit bored just chilling, we like to be on the go on holidays. About 20 minutes on the boat and we were back to Seisia, a bit rough again, they did say that they've have to cancel the tours for the next 2 days due to rough seas. They also said the last few days it's been very windy and overcast, so we picked the right day. On the ride back we saw what we thought was rain in the distance, then it kept getting closer and we could smell smoke. They've been backburning again we assume and we arrived to a very smoky Seisia. Noone seems overly concerned though, so we just went about our business. Back to camp to relax a bit, then we wandered over for to the Kiosk for dinner again, we decided on a pizza and salad to share, which we still couldn't finish. Bloody good though, again very busy in there but they're quick! Showers and the usual before bed.もっと詳しく

    NPA to Archer River Roadhouse

    2022年8月25日, オーストラリア ⋅ ⛅ 28 °C

    Heading southbound today. We were up and moving pretty quickly, luckily we had just finished packing up when it started to sprinkle. Off to the Jardine ferry, it's only a minute or 2 per go so it didn't take long for our turn to cross. We saw 2 guys on bicycles going the opposite way, not electric bikes either. The ferry operator took a selfie with them and had a good laugh. A few hours down the worst road we've come across so far and we hit Bramwell Junction. We got out to stretch our legs, fuel up and to reattach the rear number plate which was hanging on for dear life. We stopped in at Moreton Telegraph Station which we saw on the way up. Didn't realise it had a Kiosk and campgrounds. Looks like a nice spot with lots of Barramundi fishing on the Wenlock River. We wandered through the small museum and ended up having a chat to a few people heading north. Gave them the heads up about the road and the rodeo on this weekend. Back on the road to Archer River Roadhouse where we're spending the night, nothing too exciting along the way. We got in around 2, checked in and set up, then headed for the bar, which is where we've been since. Ben had a burger for dinner and I had a schnitty. Heading to Rinyirru national park tomorrow for a night, croc infested there we're told. We'll let you know.. or not..もっと詳しく

    Rinyirru National Park

    2022年8月26日, オーストラリア ⋅ ⛅ 30 °C

    Headed to Rinyirru national park today, with Musgrave Roadhouse as our first stop and the turn off into the park. We grabbed a feed, fish burger for ben and salad roll for me. Onwards we go, looking at a few campsites along the way, then cruised through the Nifold plain. It was pretty cool but weird, I kept waiting for pride rock to show up. Usually the national parks we've been through are bushland not like African Plains which is how it felt. We hit the bush and had a quick photo stop at Breeza homestead. On our way into Red Lily lagoon we saw a dingo, it looked pretty different to the ones we've seen before and on Fraser, he was a bit stockier, a bit darker and ran differently too, not as beefy as Pup though haha. The lagoon was absolutely covered in lilies, we couldn't even see the water. There weren't many red lilies flowering though. Next was White Lily lagoon, nowhere near as dense and we're sure crocs would live there, we climbed up on the car to get a better view, still no stupid crocodiles. We went further south than our campground since it was still early and to save time in the morning. Had a look at the campsites at Kennedy bend, then into Catfish waterhole. We stayed there for a bit, on the lookout for scaly things, still no dice. On the way back to our campsite we decided to do the 6km drive into old faithful campsite. The first few sites were in the bush and the last was on the water, a massive river system. Out of the corner of his eye, Ben saw a croc! I spotted it too then it went underwater. We parked the car to see if we could spot any more. Far enough off the vertical embankment, so safely. We were about to jump back in the car when he popped back up. It was pretty cool! We were very excited. He would've been about 4m and just swam around for a while. We watched him until he started to disappear into the lilypads on the far side. Time to head to our campsite. A nice spot, not too many sites and very spread out. We set up and went for a walk down to the river and causeway that heads to Cape Melville. Then just the usual, except cold showers only here, so we showered before dinner. Finished Ms Marvel and Moonknight, so we'll have to download something else when we have wifi next.もっと詳しく

    To Cape Tribulation

    2022年8月27日, オーストラリア ⋅ ☁️ 24 °C

    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

    Cape Trib and Daintree

    2022年8月28日, オーストラリア ⋅ 🌧 24 °C

    There was a lot of rain overnight and it's still going. Luckily it eased up to pack up the tent this morning. We headed to Turtle rock Cafe for breakfast and to work out the plan for the day. The rain had picked up again so we skipped a nearby boardwalk and headed for the Daintree discovery centre. It's mostly outside but they provide umbrellas and the rainforest was certainly living up to its name. We were given a map and an audio tour, so off we went. We cruised through pretty quickly and decided to loop back to the Daintree icecream co for a snack. I had the mango sorbet and Ben had the chocolate. Headed up to the Alexandra range lookout but the weather isn't playing nice so we couldn't see anything. The ferry wasn't far off and our croc tour not until 2:30pm, but we jumped on the ferry anyway. The bloke had a laugh about how dirty the car was and said they expected to see a heap more cars coming from the cape as the wet, stormy weather is meant to be heading north. We had some time to kill so ducked up to Daintree village, the Cafe and general store were shut so we went back to the croc tour car park and watched netflix until our tour started. The bloke driving our boat (we didn't catch his name) was very informative and said that there hasn't been a lot of movement today as it's surprisingly cool and it's warmer underwater for the crocs at the moment. We did see a few babies and one that was a '2020 model'. The oldies were right into the local birdlife too. It was a nice tour, only an hour, but we definitely saw bigger crocs on our own adventures. Just luck of the draw.もっと詳しく
