Today we drove from Atherton to down to the East coast above Cairns. We stayed at a small caravan park on the beach called Wonga Beach. After we set up Will and Jack went for a run on the beach. After that we all went for a walk along the beach and Will and  I collected soooooo many hermit crabs. When we got back we played with the kids next door that had been on the road for 3 years.

When we finished we went to a caravan park with a pool and where we camped t...

We also got ...

The road out from Lawn Hill was very rough but we eventually got on to some tar and drove to Burketown. We had lunch at the park and Will and I used the exercise park. We found our camp right on the river, it was nice and comfortable and private. The only bad thing was we couldn’t swim because there were crocs and there was mozzies and sand-flies. We got bitten lots of times even though we tried not to. But it was nice and quiet and we could still fish off the ...
