Cape Trip – 29 July (Wednesday)
I woke up early – due to the wind and also knowing that I had internet connection so I could do some upload some blog posts. At dawn (yes I was already up blogging by then), we had another chorus of birds to start our day.
Garry got up and started breakfast. We’re pretty much all separating today, so we split some food and I’ve done some meal prep for the they others so they’ve got dinners to get back to Brisbane. We had bacon & sausages on bread for breakfast.
We packed up camp and went into the Cultural Centre in Laura to get the details on how to get to the Rock Art. We all gave our $5 donation and travelled the 12km to Split Rock.

We climbed the stairs to get to the Art and it was pretty good.

Our next planned stop was lunch at Cape Tribulation. We did the Bloomfield Track to get there. Bloomfield is pretty but nothing compared to what we’ve seen on our cape trip. Cape Tribulation was packed. We had a BBQ lunch and the BBQ was free to use. We did the board walk and then went up to the lookout.

We got stuck at the Ferry for a while – there were heaps of cars waiting to get across. Glen and I took off after the Ferry and kept driving til we got to Ellis Beach. We booked in for camping, but when we went down to the Camp Ground, it was packed. There was no way our tent would fit in. So we went back to the Office and we’ve upgraded to a Bungalow. It’s pretty nice but nothing on the Sebel. Doh.
Scott has found some room for his swag at the campsite, but he’s up here visiting us in our bungalow. Tomorrow we’re heading south.
