Left Bamaga about 10am this morning. We drove to the Jardine River, caught the ferry across.
We then drove up to the most northern end of the telegraph track where it meets the southern bank of the Jardine River. After doubling back about 7km we then drove down the telegraph track to Nolans Creek for "just a look".
On the way up we were told of many horror stories about 4WDs being washed away at Nolans. More out of curiosity than anything we put two of our group on croc watch and waded through. Water was mostly clear and about up to my sternum with a soft sandy base, so we decided to give it a go. The exit was tight and we had to winch Mark's Navara and T-Van up over a ledge but other than that, and the snake practical joke Mark played on girls it was fairly uneventful.
Now sitting by a lovely fire, every one else in bed, reflecting on yet another fun and rewarding day!!!
P.S. Swim in the river was fantastic after traveling through sand, mud, rocky terrain, water and steep ascents/ decents.
