Before taking to bed we washed off the smoke from our camp fire that all evening knew how to find us.
Not too happy with the lurking crocs and the history of the traveling crab fisherman we decided to take our leave from Endeavour River Escape.
Because Axel wanted to see the place Cook spent so much time on his adventures we went to Cooktown proper. We did our own landing with Marjo being Captain Cook and the dogs her sailors.
Somehow that didn’t create the desired effect, and luckily the Cookerians (Cooktowners?, Cookie Monsters?) provided enough photo opportunity to remember that moment. I must say that it feels kinda special to know that about 240 years ago the official discoverer of Australia set first foot on land here (everyone knows that already more than 150 years earlier the dutchman Willem Janszoon of the Dutch East India Company set foot on land in north Australia but we’re modest about that fact).
On the way back from Cooktown we stopped to catch again some of the sights, this time of a Billabong and some termite hills that are everywhere.
It shows to be a dry and hilly country.
And then when getting past Mount Molloy thing suddenly turn lush, and we found a camping near Julatten.
It worked out a relaxed, budget, friendly camping. So we decided to make this home for 3 nights,. We checked out our horoscope
did some repairs, walked with Nossi
And overall had a nice relaxing time.
