Cape York Heading South


Well, what an amazing trip so far. We have now begun our trek south home via fruitbat falls, Moreton Telegraph Station, Musgrave Roadhouse, Cooktown and the Lions Den Hotel on the northern end of the Daintree.
 
BP Bamaga, Cheap fuel...NOT :|


 Waiting for old mate to man the Jardine ferry, took 1hr 15min... considering a hotel at this spot as a future venture  lol!




 
 

Rules for the Jardine Ferry! OMG!!
DC3 Crash Site - Bamaga QLD
USAAF Douglas C-49H (DC-3) VHCXD, # 44-83228 operated by Australian national Airways (A.N.A.) under charter for military purposes and utilising RAAF aircrew left Archerfield airfield in Brisbane at 8:39pm on 4 May 1945 on the regular courier trip to New Guinea crashed on the 5th May 1945. All 6 personnel perished.
 
 
 
 Fruitbat Falls on the Old Tele Track.
You must stop here, it's a fantastic place to just relax and get rid of the dust off you!
Get in behind the falls and have some fun!!
 
 

 


Moreton Station Camp Ground. After leaving Punsand Bay, via Fruitbat Falls we stopped here for the night. Moreton Station had lots of grassy areas and OK amenities.


We arrived at Musgrave Roadhouse around mid afternoon and grabbed a donga, Kaz made a b-line for the empty washing machine :) - In this pic we are watching the Rugby Union tests with guests and the locals that night at the roadhouse, there were people from all over the world there and we had a great night.
Next stop Cooktown and the Lions Den Hotel Camp Grounds.
