Today is the day we head to the tip! Slow steady start, past the 'croc tent' for some touristing and they had the cutest little piggy out the front... I want one!! Then up to the top. Started to look all rainforesty again. Drove past the dilapidated resort that is no more and along the beach to the point where my shoe got eaten by the bogyness. Got a few pictures at the top and wandered back to the cars for lunch and off to the caravan park in seasia for a relax ...

Woke up with an ankle full of bites this morning... ouch, am getting a littlw tired of all the bitey, crawly things up here! Saw a little blind snake today, looks like a little wormy! A swim (well paddle for me to clean my feet!) while the boys worked on tim's leaking radiator.

After us some goose in a hilux came speeding down and scared the crap out of Linda and Lisa who were still washing their feet in the river. We're expecti...

Got up a bit later today and re-arranged the food boxes, got even more space now ... Yay!! After a little spat with the shazza per washing we decided to mosey on up the road to bramwell roadhouse for the night. Just as we were packing up, couldn't find my phone anywhere, searched everything, pulled stuff out of the car an even had everyone else on the trail.
