We packed up this morning and left Ellis Beach. We all headed off in different directions with the plan being to meet at Mission Beach at the end of the day. Colin and Wendy headed straight down to Mission Beach and booked us all in at the Dunk Island View Caravan Park. They had a look around the area in the arvo and a drink at the local bar and grill. Marcus and Ang headed of to Innisfail to Paronella Park stopping at Babinda Boulders along the way. They thoro...

14th August We all continued with the never ending job of trying to rid our cars and campers of the red dust that we had collected along the way. The afternoon was spent relaxing, swimming and sunning ourselves on the beautiful beach (again!!) 15th August Today was the day of our next adventure and we were all a bit excited and couldn't wait for the afternoon. We spent the morning on the beach, had a quick lunch and headed of to Lake Placid for our White Wate...

We placed the rack back on the car and he assured us he didn't want any further assistance. On again to rescue the next breakdown victims. Alas we came across a couple of indigenous folk who had been broken down for the last two hours with no assistance from th...

Packing up to leave for Archers River Roadhouse. Spoke to the neighbor about the fishing and he said they had caught five fish over the two days but only at first light, if only we could get up that early. Wendy was looking forward to the 23 km drive on the track back to the main road, especially the log bridge, but all was fine. Spotted a dingo on the tip on the way out. Most enjoyable drive down the Bypass road breathing Marcou dust to Bramwell Junction whe...
