Yesterday Josh and I went to Mossman Gorge. This meant a car ride on the ferry across the Daintree River. We stopped at the Daintree Village before heading to the gorge. There is a new information centre and visitors can no longer drive to the gorge itself instead you go by shuttle bus. Unfortunately a bridge was broken so we were only able to walk a third of the track which was dissapointing. We headed back into Mossman and back on the ferry to camp. The rain wa...

Today we left Hahn River crossing and travelled through the rest of Lakefield National Park to Old Laura. Old Laura is an historic station. It is here that we said farewell to the PCOA crew who were heading to Cairns - had the adventure of a lifetime with them. Josh and I then travelled along battlecamp road (named due to a battle that occurred between the indigenous people and white settlers). Battlecamp road ends at Cooktown. We had a quick stop for alcohol, fu...

We left Bramwell Station (12/7/12) and headed south stopping at Moreton Telegraph Station, Coen and Musgrave Station before heading Lakefield National Park and to the Hahn River Crossing camp sites. Amazing landscape particularly the high plains that were scattered with termite mounds.The campsite had a crocodile warning on entry - fantastic!. Nice camp ground right by the river. Today (13/7/12) I went for a walk with Julieanne, Carl and Aidan to a waterhole abou...

After leaving Seisia we headed back down to the Jardine Ferry. We got to the ferry at morning tea break (we seem to be good at arriving at ferry breaks). We were meant to be heading to Vriliya Beach however the track wasn't good so we went to the Dulhunty River which meant we did part of the telegraph track again and stayed the night. We left Dulhunty and went to Bramwell Station. Nice camping area - with bar! We spent a couple of hours at the bar before head...

Today was our final day at Seisia. The car was slightly un-coperative again this morning however is doing what it's told again. Was very hot and humid early today (more so than the past few days) so this morning was spent picking up some bits and pieces for the next part of the trip which allowed us to spend some time in air conditioned cars and shops. This afternoon we went and saw two WW2 air craft ruins. Amazing how they are still in reasonable condition for...
