Cooktown to Kalpowar Crossing

Friday 13th July 2012, we are all up around 6am, as we have to pulled down the tents and have bags, mattresses and bedding at the back of the bus, prior to breakfast. Our breakfast is cereal and toast. Once the bus is packed Jeff & Kath drop us all of in Cooktown, before taking the bus to the mechanics, as the microphone isn't working.

We spent the morning walking around town, had morning tea before setting off to the museum and then had lunch prior to getting back on the bus. We stopped at Isabella Falls and Old Laura before stopping the night at Kalpowar Crossing

Happy Hour

Cane Toad

We pulled into Kalpowar Crossing and a Relay for Life team of approx 130 people were in the campsite, they had a generator going all night.

Anyhow, prior to dinner Jeff took us down to the river and we saw our first croc for the tour. Mark loved the fact that he found some cane toads. Geckos and tree frogs were spotted in the toilets.
