cape flattery

It's been adventure, adventure!! I've got so many drafts on my computer to update everyone..will have to do that later when it's fixed. We spent 2 nights at cape tribulation camping ground - was so good!! The boys caught a few fish out on the reef, decided to put crab pots out in the river that's known to have a 2, 2.5 and. 3.5m croc in it!!! After dinner we all went down (with minimal lights), I was absolutely shitting my panties! The boys had seen a croc when they were putting it out earlier. I don't think I've ever been so scared. When we got down, was too far in and the boys were,kt risking it..thank god! Checked it the next day and something had cleaned it out clean..but no crabs

Next day went for a drive, tried some local ice cream...yummy! Did a bit of a drive around..really pretty!!

Next day went on to archer point...we're talking dig your own toilet type camping..hhhm. It was super secluded, and exposed to the elements. Boys took the tinnie out, came back soaking wet..and no fish. Aaron's smile was worth it though..grin ear to ear. Spent 2 nights here and this is where we did some major 4wding!! Heart in mouth on number of ocassions! Az did so well.

We left kinda late-ish from here to head to cape flattery...took us over 6 hours to get there ...we did get lost for 2 hours (!!!!) Though. All part of the adventure isn't it. The track in was so overgrown we thought it couldn't possibly be the track.. Turns out that it was the right one...bugger. Took us over an hour to get into the beach and then another hour to get to the camp site..crazy! We arruved at about 8pm, pitch black and so so sooooo scary!! We set up just off the beach..we had no idea if crocs were around or dingoes..we'd seen some huge paw prints. The next day we awoke to a really pretty spot. Another dig your own toilet spot..am definitely ready for some civilisation..and a flushing toilet! We left today and stopped at isabella falls for a shower - you've no idea how good we all felt!! Now we're at laura and heading north.... Take care..having a. Ball!
