Cape York - Day 15, Punsand Bay 30/06/2018

Today was another no travel day and we literally lazed around camp, explored the beach and swam in the pool. After dinner we took the kids up to the pool area so they could join the other kids and watch a movie on the big screen. Punsand Bay has great facilities and is awesome for the kids but Anna and I prefer Loyalty Beach where its a little more laid back, not so crowed and more our style.

Distance travelled = 0km

Cape York - Day 28, Calliope River to Glass House Mountains 13/07/2018

Last night was another cold night and climbing out of the swag was very hard, when we did emerge we were treated to a beautiful thick fog which burned off slowly as the sun rose. We weren’t in too much of a hurry today so we milled around camp waiting for the heavy dew on the roof top tent to dry off. Eventually we hit the road and made our way south on the Bruce Highway. Lunch stop fro today was Tiaro and from here it was a couple of hours drive and we were home. This trip was fantastic and we are so glad we had this opportunity. We love heading out west into the deserts and were surprised at how much we enjoyed this trip. The 4wd tracks through the Creb, OTT and Frenchman's tracks were brilliant and our little Triton emerged relatively unscathed with some new pin stripes, rattles, bucket fulls of dust and some paint off the side steps and bash plates. Nothing a good clean/polish and touch up won't fix. I'm so glad we took our time and prepared properly, we saw heaps o

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
