Well we finally hit the road for our trip to Cairns to make our flight to Cape York to visit Constable Plod. What started out in the planning to be a six week caravan trip ended up being a nine day car trip. With the installation finally of the new kitchen which they all tell me was fifteen years overdue, time just ran out so instead of meandering up and around slowly we took the small car and tent. And we enjoyed every bit of it. So easy. Our first night was Pomona with rellies, then it was Bargara, a beach we hadn’t been too.
Then a stop at the Clairview Caravan Park. What a great night. Home cooked meal and a great singalong band. Really enjoyable. Morning coffee with a view like this
On then to Proserpine, Airlie Beach and Shute Harbour.
Thats where Poo decided he had found the block of his dreams. How would the view be if you built here.
Did spend a night at Bowen but decided that Bowen was the most unfriendliest town we have ever been in and that we will never return. One side trip we did make was to the Wallamann Falls outside Ingham. The highest falls and yes they were really worth the trip.
We then made our way on to Cairns after a night at Kurrimine Beach and drove on up over the Daintree Ferry to have a look once again at Cape Tribulation. A really beautiful area of Queensland.
Then I crossed another off the “bucket list”. Have a few times now driven up the coast from Cairns and always said I would love to camp at Ellis Beach. That park right on the beach has always taken my fancy so we decided to take the opportunity and stay for two nights. Took a beachside cabin and it was just paradise. One step off the deck and you were on the sand.
Feeling relaxed we drove back into Cairns itself, had a few shopping chores to do for Plod before we left for the Tip, so another two nights in Cairns and we were ready to board the Flying Kangaroo. A great few days .
