Whitsundays and K’gari - Make it stand out Whitsunday Island: Aerial view of Whitehaven beach on Whitsunday Island. If you look closely you can see all the dots of people near the mouth of the channel (on the right). There is a fallen tree here which is a popular instagram photo. Most people do not seem to move far along the beach but rather hang around that spot https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65ec049b875b5e663e461100/4bcd8208-ad9b-4aa8-a6b4-9d02b98be54e/Clocked-9091.jpg Photos - 17.

Whitsundays and K’gari - Make it stand out K’gari: You need a 4WD to visit K’gari. The tracks are all sandy. This is a two-way track, which makes passing a vehicle coming in the opposite direction is a bit tricky (all the tracks are just one vehicle wide but are two-way tracks) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65ec049b875b5e663e461100/51c33aec-254a-40c0-bb42-8c7ecadffad0/IMG_9519.jpg Photos - 17.

Whitsundays and K’gari - Make it stand out Magnetic Island: We stopped over at Townsville for two nights on our way south. We caught the ferry over to Magnetic Island which is a popular holiday island just off the coast. We rented a car to get around the small island. While it was fun to drive, the car was appalling. The steering did not engage properly - it was like trimming a sailing boat in a storm. Because there was so much loose movement in the steering, the car would just veer off to the side without any warning. There were other issues with such a wreck of a car but the steering was the highlight. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65ec049b875b5e663e461100/7caa1083-46d2-40ec-bbd0-cf0457599ab4/IMG_9389.jpg Photos - 17.

Whitsundays and K’gari - Make it stand out Clairview: We stopped overnight at Clariview on the drive south.

FNQ and The Tip - Make it stand out Coen: Driving north to the tip we stopped at a couple of different local hotels for the night. This is the Exchange Hotel in the small town of Coen. Someone added an 'S' to the front of the name a long time ago. That's Millie on the left keeping a wary eye on one of the numerous dogs that wander about the town https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65ec049b875b5e663e461100/9ae806a8-0953-4542-8b33-a9d9d53a5a2a/IMG_8674.jpg Photos - 16. FNQ and The Tip - Make it stand out Thursday Island: Thursday Island is off the north coast of Australia. It is a small island with less than 3,000 people. Here we are on the ferry on the way there https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65ec049b875b5e663e461100/814505c8-7f1d-4d68-ba5f-be33105c6b61/IMG_8585.jpg Photos - 16. FNQ and The Tip - Make it stand out Seisa: There are several small towns at the top of the Cape York Peninsula. We stayed in a 'donga' at a caravan park in Seisa. The accommodation is basic and overpriced. But, this is right outside the door of our donga and you can't complain about that. The only downside is that you cannot swim in the water due to crocodiles https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65ec049b875b5e663e461100/98d45bdd-a230-44e9-b0a4-9324f4cdbbb6/DJI_20241006072602_0078_D.jpg Photos - 16.

FNQ and The Tip - Make it stand out The Drive North - Fruitbat Falls: This is a lovely swimming spot on the way north. Unusually for the area, there are no crocodiles in the water. And, as a bonus, the water was a pleasant temperature (so many of the swimming spots have been freezing) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65ec049b875b5e663e461100/c626c86f-31ee-4826-88e0-dbed1a6223ed/IMG_8531.jpg Photos - 16.

FNQ and The Tip - Make it stand out Cooktown: We liked Cooktown. It is a small and pleasant town north of Cairns named for James Cook due to it being the place he and his crew came ashore to repair their ship https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65ec049b875b5e663e461100/384d30d4-ee66-4e5c-b844-fc2206fd2040/DSC_0536.jpg Photos - 16.

FNQ and The Tip - Make it stand out Cape York - WW2 Plan Wreck: The north of Australia had many airfields during WW2. There are a number of crash sights around the peninsula https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65ec049b875b5e663e461100/8f7e7859-b191-45ea-adad-ace94750d460/DSC_0524.jpg Photos - 16. FNQ and The Tip - Make it stand out Undara Volcanic National Park: The caves are known as 'lava tubes' and were formed by the lava flows from many of the nearby volcanoes https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65ec049b875b5e663e461100/7208a80e-edd7-4148-b922-a5c1b22230d5/DJI_20241006073223_0089_D.jpg Photos - 16. FNQ and The Tip - Make it stand out Cape Tribulation: Cape Tribulation is known as the place where the rainforest meets the reef. It was named by James Cook because it is where their ship ran aground on the coral reef and almost sunk. Cook is not the only one who had trouble getting in and out of Cape Tribulation - the road up from Cairns was the most difficult drive of the whole trip. It is only 30 kilometres from the barge across the river to Cape Tribulation, but it took more than an hour to drive. It is very tight and very windy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65ec049b875b5e663e461100/5082908c-9986-4fd0-9f93-c2d538e7f461/IMG_8591.jpg Photos - 16.

FNQ and The Tip - Make it stand out Thursday Island: The cemetery is expansive. In this part are the graves of many Japanese people who came to Thursday Isand for the pearling industry https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65ec049b875b5e663e461100/4fcefe32-50a8-4ddc-882e-bfce0bf32e00/DSC_0528.jpg Photos - 16.

FNQ and The Tip - Make it stand out The Drive North: We crossed over the Jardine River on the ferry. They charge $130 just to get across that river and back. That works out at about $30 per minute that you are on the ferry. When you have a monopoly, you can do that https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65ec049b875b5e663e461100/c5e23362-104a-4d73-871f-34794fd4a8bb/IMG_8691+2.jpg Photos - 16. FNQ and The Tip - Make it stand out Heading South: We were planning to stay at Lockhart River (east side of Cape York Peninsula) on our way back down. There is one road in and out. The road here is a reasonably steep section coming up out of a river crossing. The truck, with two long trailers, had an engine failure and the rolled back down the hill and ended up across the road. We could not get past in our car. After some time, we decided to leave and give Lockhart River a miss. Maybe its good to leave something for next time... https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65ec049b875b5e663e461100/d4b76b59-2ad2-40c0-a435-37f8d7e1d272/IMG_8679.jpg Photos - 16.

FNQ and The Tip - Make it stand out The Drive North: The drive is a lot of orange dusty roads which are often surrounded by lush trees. You can get lucky if the road has been graded recently and have a smooth run. Or, you can get unlucky and have a very corrugated road. We got lucky https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65ec049b875b5e663e461100/7aaa0695-8b16-4176-a2d6-4f5b8b2470cb/DSC_0581.jpg Photos - 16. FNQ and The Tip - Make it stand out Cape York - WW2 Fuel Dump: There are a lot of 44 gallon fuel drums left behind from the war in the bushes https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65ec049b875b5e663e461100/f63a6f57-0cb0-4f49-82a8-8d15a19b89f4/DSC_0578.jpg Photos - 16.

FNQ and The Tip - Make it stand out Cooktown: There was a gold rush in Palmer River in the 1870s. Cooktown became the gateway to the goldfields. At its peak, there were estimated to be 30,000 people at the goldfields and 4,000 people living in Cooktown (it is now less than 3,000). The Sisters of Mercy order in Ireland sent out five nuns in 1888 to set up a convent and school. Goodness knows how they managed with the massive change from Ireland to the mosquito infested humidity of FNQ. Cooktown suffered a decline and the convent was shut down before WWII. The building was later saved and now houses the Cooktown Museum https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65ec049b875b5e663e461100/569ca52a-1251-4e0f-9eb5-d97674d729af/DJI_20241001111520_0467_D.jpg Photos - 16.

The station is known for its warm artesian baths. While it was lovely to sit in warm natural baths and watch the sun come up, the station was disappointing in that there is little actual station activity and while they advertise that they do tours this is not the case any more. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65ec049b875b5e663e461100/0ae17a70-d397-4f9e-8f59-043e6e2d4f5a/IMG_8186.jpg Photos - 15.

Coober Pedy - Make it stand out Coober Pedy: The whole landscape is just piles of dirt which have been dug up in the hunt for opals. You can register a claim and go mining.

I needed to sit with Millie to give her some support, but she did all of the bargaining https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65ec049b875b5e663e461100/d98c0ea0-3ee0-4110-b10a-a1d36c778df8/IMG_7919+2.jpg Photos - 14.

Coober Pedy - Make it stand out Coober Pedy: We did a bit of 'noodling', which is fossicking through the dug up earth piles.

Lake Argyle, Mitchell Falls and Katherine - Make it stand out Lake Argyle: The caravan park has a famous infinity pool, which is infamous for how cold it is. We constantly heard along the way about how cold it would be. Millie was not bothered by the cold, which meant we swam in it each day, while most people just jump in for a selfie and then get out. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65ec049b875b5e663e461100/b350b6a7-0d00-422c-ab44-4cfc488aef40/DSC_6629.jpg Photos - 9.

Lake Argyle, Mitchell Falls and Katherine - Make it stand out Mitchell Falls: When we lost the car wheel on the Gibb River Road (GRR), it took six days to courier a new wheel / tyre to Derby. We had to remove some time from our plan because we had places booked - this was especially necessary because it was during the school holidays. We cut out the drive north of the GRR to Mitchell Falls which I had allowed five days for in our plan. I was still keen to see Mitchell Falls. So, I did a day trip out of Kununurra to see Mitchell Falls. Sumy chose not to join, so I went on my own. The tour flew out of Kununurra to a small airstrip near Mitchell Falls, and from there it was a drive and a hike. I was pleased to get the chance to see it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65ec049b875b5e663e461100/63456b29-32c7-4d8c-bb35-fc09d9d4ee9a/IMG_7048.jpg Photos - 9.

Lake Argyle, Mitchell Falls and Katherine - Make it stand out Katherine Show: For the bucking horse ride it looks like they tie something near the saddle to irritate the horse (and as well the rider constantly cracks a whip). If the rider stays on the horse for the duration, then they end their ride by transferring to the back of another rider / horse. Whether the rider has fallen off or completed the ride, one of the stewards will then ride up next to the bucking horse and release the strap that has been irritating the horse so as it will then settle down https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65ec049b875b5e663e461100/c366926f-58fa-4762-bcba-ac0ad71fc99d/GOPR1533.jpg Photos - 9.

Gibb River Road - Make it stand out Manning Gorge: I was just doing some recon and who was there? Guy and Adam… the fifth time we have met up with them. We saw them later that day at Manning Gorge. I sat in the running water at the top of the water fall with Millie (who did not want to do that). When I got out of the water it looked like I had green moss on my legs. In fact, it was hundreds and hundreds of tiny worms. And they would not come off… Guy was sure they were leeches. (Millie had only a very small number on her because she had been sitting on me). Poor old Guy spent a lot of time picking leeches from my legs, and Adam had a spare pair of shorts which I changed into because I could not get them out of my bathers. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65ec049b875b5e663e461100/1032e8d8-6ab3-422e-9321-3f224c73bc18/IMG_4179.jpg Photos - 7.
