Woke up to our tropical oasis at 'Eddie's' camp with beautiful sunshine. We had a cook up of pancakes for everyone and the kids loved them!!! At 8:30am the kids were dressed in their bathers and down on the beach building their pool with the shovels. All the kids are playing well together and there's a little gang. There's now Boo, Meg, Jeremy, Acacia, Maleka, Emily and James. The day was pretty lazy with the adults all sitting around with our feet in the small...

Hung around Lions Den pub for a while before packing up camp and headed to Cooktown for last minute stock up of fuel and groceries before heading to 'Elim' to "Eddie's camp". We got to Cooktown around 10:30am and we couldnt believe how windy it was. Headed to supermarket and did a last shop, then filled the Nissan. We went up to the lookout and scaled the steep hill. It was a very steep climb but we all made it to the top. Got out of the car and nearly got blown ...

Had a crap night sleep last night with moderate to heavy rain starting at 2am and not ending till 9am! Boo also had a nightmare and needed to go to the toilet so Marty and my idea of an early night didn't quite happen. Anyhow, packed everything up all wet and was on the road by 9am.

Today was an early start with Boo having to go to the toilet at 5am!!! Then everyone was up and the morning was slow to start. Had breaky with Kerry, Dale, Mick and the kids and then watched them packing up to set off to the Cape. We all strolled down to the river to check out the croc cruises and all the kids jumped on and got a free little ride across the river while the bloke had to move his boat. We decided to give the cruise a miss and said goodbye to our n...

Left Mount Carbine by 8:00am ditching the caravan and heading off to start the first leg of our Cape York adventure. Headed to Port Douglas and arrived at 10:00am and had morning tea by the beach. We decided nothing much to see there so headed to Daintree village to our camp site for the next 3 nights. Got to the park by 11:00am and set up the tent. It's all very basic with just a grassed area by the river (which has a fence up to stop the crocs coming up we thin...
