Lions Den Hotel to Noah's Beach - Day 138, 24/08/2016

I was a bit excited this morning as we are driving the Bloomfield track down to Cape Tribulation, the Bloomfield track is a 4wd track and used to be quite challenging but the majority of the steep climbs have now been concreted and the drive wasn't very hard. The scenery however was spectacular with beautiful rainforest covered mountain ranges plunging into the sea. We started from the north at Bloomfield and stopped in at the Bloomfield Falls for a quick look around, these falls had a fair bit of water coming over them and the thundering water was quite loud.

It didn't take us too long to drive the 30 odd kilometers and we were soon at Cape Tribulation and a few kilometers down the road we found our campsite at Noah's Beach in the Daintree National Park. The campground is located in the rainforest just behind the beach and is very shady and cool, once we had lunch we walked down to the beach and had a stroll along the stunning coastline. Unfortunately the wind on the beach was a little strong and we hope it drops tomorrow so we can really enjoy the beach and go for a swim.

Distance Traveled = 82 km
Total distance traveled with camper = 37,123 km 
Total number of nights in the camper = 270

Mardugal to Maguk - Day 103, 20/07/2016

I was up early again this morning (its my favourite time of day) and enjoyed the sunrise over the billabong that is at the rear of the campground. Once my coffee was finished I returned to camp and the girls were just getting up. Today was only a short drive to our next destination so we took our time packing up and left the campground just after 10.30. We topped up our fuel and drinking water at Cooinda and then continued onto Maguk. We had heard reports that the track into the campground and falls was very rough, Wiki Camps even had comments from a bloke who referred to himself as a "4wd enthusiast" that this was the worst road in Australia and that comment was from 2 weeks ago... We were sadly disappointed when we found a very average gravel road, there were corrugations in parts but not nearly as bad as some of the roads we have been on. We soon arrived at the campground and had to drive around a bit to find a suitable site as most of the sites suit walk in campers wi...

Cape York - Day 27, O'Connell River to Calliope River 12/07/2018

Another transit today, on previous trips we had camped at the free camp on the Calliope River so this was our destination for the day. Anna was craving another proper coffee and wanted to show the girls where her family used to stay in Mackay, so we took a detour off the highway and had a coffee and morning tea at the Mackay Marina. The park Anna used to play in as a kid was still there... We stopped in at Claireview for lunch and Anna and I think we could retire here one day, a very beautiful little spot. We started to hit the road works today but otherwise we made good time and had an uneventful drive south. Late in the arvo we pulled off the highway into Calliope River, this place is very popular with camping on both sides of the river. The area is huge and we managed to find a nice pot looking down over the river. Distance travelled = 541km

The kids were awake early as they were super excited as today we get to Broome and they get to see Aunty Alex and Uncle Bryce and their dog Ralph. We had an uneventful drive to Broome and arrived just before 11 and had a good time catching up with Bryce and Alex and then spent the afternoon unpacking, washing and cleaning. Bryce and I will be heading out to Rudall River to scatter our Dad's ashes tomorrow, whilst we are away the girls will chill out in Broome. No photo's from today as it was just a transit day.
