The road to Elim Beach via Cook Town
10 sierpnia 2018, Australia ⋅ ⛅ 25 °C
We had a beautiful drive to Elim Beach. So green and lush. Very tropical! We didn’t stop in CT but filled up with diesel and came straight here from Mt Carbine which is an old mining town site about 250 Ks. Some of it dirt road but relatively well graded!!
We passed a church that had a Spanish look about it! Czytaj więcej

Elim Beach.
10 sierpnia 2018, Australia ⋅ ⛅ 25 °C
This place is north of Cook Town. A bush camp by the sea. Run by aboriginal people.
Idyllic with white sands, palm trees and ferns.
The tide goes out a very long way! Luckily, because it is very shallow, the crocodiles are 3 Ks away and are not a problem!! Czytaj więcej

Elim Beach
17 sierpnia 2018, Australia ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C
Elim Beach camp is basic and remote. Getting here is not a drive to the shops and you need to bring everything you need. There is some potable water and cold showers.

Long walks on the beach is rewarding with good restful sleep each nigh as a benefit. It is easy to see why just about every visitor decides to stay longer. Czytaj więcej

Lost Dreams
17 sierpnia 2018, Australia ⋅ ☀️ 24 °C
Young groups decide to have a nice spot to relax and fish or older families build a shack with friends to get away.

As time goes on people move, friendships change. Economies make remote living more difficult. Eventually all that is left is a little evidence of the long gone dreams.

In a few more years the salty water will have completely consumed the metals. A careless bushfire will leave only the concrete pads. Czytaj więcej

Coloured sands - Elim Beach
20 sierpnia 2018, Australia ⋅ ☀️ 22 °C
One must do while visiting Elim Beach is a visit to the coloured sands. It is best colour wise to go early in the morning. At this time there are rich red tones and vivid yellows that will mature and change as the sun rises higher.

This is a delicate and sacred area that must be visited with care. No material should be taken and care moving around is advised.

The canyon winds way up into the sands revealing a thousand new vistas. A long and energetic climb is rewarded by a very unique water feature.

At this point, which should be as far as you proceed, the water soaks out of the sand and runs with a dribble over a harder ledge. Here for the first time I witnessed sand stalagtites. I am not sure how they are "glued" together but they seem very fragile. Czytaj więcej

Arachnaphobia
22 sierpnia 2018, Australia ⋅ 🌙 21 °C
In the Australian bush there are many animals. There are the normal furry kinds such as wallabies, koalas, marsupial mice, and kangaroos. There are slithering kinds of all types. Giant pythons with beautiful carpet patterns that grow up to 6 meters or more in length. Coppery and black varieties that should always be avoided. They are highly venomous and everyone should understand snake bite first aid. Australian snakes generally don't attack. Many of the two species of crocodiles are found here and birds too numerous to count.

Another common fellow seen mostly at night are the many spiders. If you shine a light at your eye level outward into the bush it is very likely you will see thousands of tiny jewel reflections. Following these bright reflections will reveal a spider. Commonly 1-2cm in size these guys hunt on the ground preying on insects with cover of darkness. In the daytime they tend to hide from hungry birds. Although they look quite scary they are less bother than sandflies, mozzie or March flies all of which readily try to such your blood.

Elim Beach
28 maja 2021, Australia ⋅ ⛅ 23 °C
Elim Beach (pronounced eelum) is not a long way north of Cairns. The drive is about 70k via Hopevale, and now all but about 4k on bitumen. It is a nice area with interesting beaches and camping ground run by traditional owners.

Its worth taking time to walk along the beach and enjoying the scenery. Watch out for the crocs though. They are around and might bite. The other thing to be careful of is the soft sand. One wrong step and you are up to your knees. Czytaj więcej

Elim Coloured Sand Hills
29 maja 2021, Australia ⋅ ⛅ 23 °C
We are stopped right now near Hope Vale. A small creek is providing a neat background noise as I write in some description and upload the photos from the last couple of days.

Yesterday afternoon we walked quite a distance along the beach, north of Elim Beach. In all we clocked up well over 10k for the whole day.

We have been to the Coloured sands before but rest assured, it really is worth a second visit. About 300 meters along there is a massive ravine eroded into the multicoloured sandhills. Even though photos barely show the majesty of it all, a walk in is very humbling.

Some places on this planet are beautiful beyond words. Description is difficult as there seems no descriptive narrative to convey the feelings and awe such a place inspires. All I can suggest is to take the time and make the effort to visit places like this, that they may enrich your journey through life. Czytaj więcej

Chilling by a Creek
30 maja 2021, Australia ⋅ ⛅ 25 °C
The creek crossing at Hope Vale had a bit of a road cleared in where the water trucks get filled. We backed the van in to stop and have a cuppa.

With the white noise background not much else can be heard. The sounds of various birds is nearly completed muted. The water is rushing through the three large pipes in its haste to make it way to the sea. Czytaj więcej

Eddies Elim Beach Camp

Eddies Elim Beach Camp
Great story here because Aboriginal people have had land returned to them and are making a real go of it.
The fight is not over as they are now in “negotiations” with mining companies on the area who want to expand their sand mining leases. They process silica which is experiencing increased demand.
That aside this location is fantastic. Wide level camping right on the Coral Sea. The amenities are basic but serviceable and the environment is beautiful.
At low tide the beach is wide and flat. Just perfect for a long ride. The coloured sands are a remarkable feature. The only thing we found on Elim Beach is a hut set up with the camp ground owner. They established a Kit Surfing Safari (only access is via the beach)
There are some great 4x4 tracks that access South Bedford Beach. Remote wind blown and beautiful. Sadly the beach has a lot of debris, mostly plastic, in the jetsam that washes in from the sea.
Something must be done about this disaster. If this beach looks like this, imagine the state of The Reef and the sea floor. Who would be a fish? Czytaj więcej
