Travelling on the Peninsula Development Road the road conditions varied considerably. From well sealed to poorly maintained gravel sections with many floodways and dips.
The P.D.R…. & Musgrave Roadhouse to Coen
Grassy Lookout
Some of the best views of Cooktown.
Isabella Falls, Cooktown
Cooktown Botanic Gardens & Finch Bay
Walking in the shade was cooler and therefore much more pleasant.
Cooktown morning walk
Up to The Cape we go!
THE adventure begins. We departed Cairns (after dropping off the caravan) for Cooktown via Lakeland with high expectations. Set up the tent in no time flat. 1st Cooktown’s sunset was amazing by the shores of the Endeavour river and from the Grassy Lookout.
Coffee
Morning coffee at Mareeba… and it was excellent!
Lake Placid
Final preparations before departing tomorrow to Cooktown for 2 days from where The Cape adventure begins.
Barron River
The Barron River passes within 100m of our caravan park. Enjoyed flying amongst the trees and up the valley towards the power station and the falls.
Palm Cove
Really busy, popular tourist beach 20 minutes north of Cairns
