Northern Peninsula Area

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.Leggi altro
