We camped at Saltwater Creek in Lakefield National Park along a sandy creek bed.

I did some fishing and caught a Barramundi yahoo!, even my big brother Chris hasn't caught one of these !,but it was too small to keep, only about 40cm, so I had to let him go.I caught 4 fish in total.

There were thousands of crickets and Rocket frogs at the camp site.

We drove to Archer River for morning tea, I did a bit of fishing but again..no luck. Some of the others did some work on their cars.

We drove up the hill to the roadhouse & had a famous Archer River hamburger for lunch, I don't really think there is anything special about them, but after camp cooking for a few days, they taste great. While we were eating a man left the gate open & two cheeky cows came in to eat the green grass, it was funny to watch everyone trying to chase them out.

We were stopped at a fruit quarantine station where a man checked our fruit & vegetable we had in the car - everything was ok.

We made it to a town called Coen for the night & set up our tents.It is still nice and warm here & the sun doesn't set until around 6 - 6.30 so I went with Wayne to a local waterhole for a swim - no croc's!.

When we got back everyone went to the local cafe for tea then made our way over to the well known Exchange Hotel for a friendly drink and chat with the local people

We drove thru the Pasco river, George & Phil had to be snatched out.

We stopped at a place called Portlands Road for lunch, there was a small cafe & they had a big Green Tree Frog living there.

We made our way along the dirt roads to Chilli Beach, this was really windy & smelly, we didn't stay long even though we were supposed to camp there.

We continued further along the road crossing the Pasco River again at a different point, we didn't like the campsite so we went further along down to the Wenlock river.

We couldn't find enough space for all of us so, Wayne. Peter & us camped along the shallow creek & the others along a small billabong. We had a nice camp fire until it started to rain.

Dad, and Jim, connected two car batteries together, and re-welded the latch on the spare wheel carrier.

We had a nice campfire, and Pam cooked a damper on it. It was Yummy.

The river, wasn't too deep at the crossing so we washed most of the cars... They didn't stay clean for long

Peter had got his parts, and fixed his car. He turned up later at night. He had a little trouble finding us, but we could hear him on the UHF radios, so we guided him to the camp

We drove to Usher Point where we drove along the beach, below the high tide mark. We found lots of interesting things washed up on the beach, we stopped a few times to look at them, we saw boat buoys, thousands of thongs, a wheel barrow, a kayak - dad was upset as we couldn't fit it on the roof, even a pair of ripped jeans, It just goes to show that was goes down the drain washes up somewhere.

We found some caves that were created by the storms & had hundreds of bats living in them.

Two of our trip mates got stuck in a sandy creek area & we had to help get them out we had to rush as the tide was coming in quickly, some of the places we had to drive over were sharp rock areas which had oysters growing on them.

We made it to Captain Billy's Landing.

It was very windy. We set up our campsite behind the sand dunes to get a bit of protection, it didn't help much, Mum didn't sleep at all.

We visited a few of the WW2 plane wreck crash sites which are through out the bush . We saw an old DC-3 , old fuel dumps & the remains of the Beaufort Bomber.

We bought lunch and went to a place called Loyalty beach to eat before heading back to camp to relax and get things ready for tomorrow.

We stopped at  the Croc Shop which sells lots of souvenirs.

We stopped at the Punsand Bay resort to look at the beach area.

We parked the cars and climbed up a rocky hill to make our way to the actual spot. The waters were really blue. I t was overcast & windy.

We had photo's taken and walked back to the car park on the beach and had lunch.

We then went for a drive along some of the beaches, one of them had lots of interesting things washed up on to it.

We then drove to some of the inland lakes for a look before coming back to camp.

At night a big barge came in which was loaded with supplies for the town & also cars & caravans of people who didn't want to drive this far.

.

We Crossed two deep creeks, Logan & Nolan, where we had to have a tarp over the front the car to help stop water getting in to the engine. The water was very deep & I could touch it out the window.

We crossed the Jardine river by another ferry and drove to Seisia where we are camping for three nights.

There are bush Turkeys running around the tents.

We had owls  come and visit us above our tent.

We played in the waterfall all afternoon.

Next was the Cockatoo crossing were everyone had to walk the crossing to check the height of the water & test the bottom of the ground - no worries.

We made it to Twin falls & Elliot falls and set up our camp.

When we were finished we walked down the track & came to a huge water pond called the Saucepan, we went further and came to Elliot falls where we jumped off the edge of the waterfall into the below pools, this was scary the first time because it is high, but after that I didn't have a problem and jumped all afternoon. We floated down stream and got out at Twin falls where the water was much warmer.
