The TOP!!!!

We were on the road at 8:30:) getting later again...... No we were waiting for some other people who were camped down the road to give crossing the Jardine River a go. There was NO WAY that we were crossing that!!!! It was deeper then Nolan's and WAY wider!!! They took too long so we headed off to the Ferry crossing.


The boys climbing trees while waiting......


Waiting in line for the Ferry.....

See the monkey?????


Sign...... Obviously......


And awesomely painted petrol station.......


Horses that just roam randomly...... We even saw one in someone's garage!!


Kade took a photo of this pretty flower.....

Our first stop on the north side of the Jardine was in an Aboriginal Community called Umagico.


Boats high and dry in the low tide....


Water was a beautiful turquoise........
From there we drove through Bamaga and onto Seisia. First stop - the most important place - the Jetty of course!!!!!!


A cargo ship being loaded......


The scenic flight helicopters........


A stranded boat......


The Jetty.......


Aaawwwwww.......

After looking around at all the caravan parks, we decided to stay at a caravan park in Umagico, not only because it was WAY cheaper, but the park in Umagico was right on the beach. Beach equals happiness for little boys, and lots of treasures - especially at low tide:) so we booked in to the Alau Beach caravan park.


The beach in front of our caravan park......


Look at alllllll those rocks to explore.........


A scenic tour helicopter landed right on our beach.....


This little beauty the boys came across on one of their low tide jaunts. Thankfully they both read dangerous animal books, and knew that this was a "DO NOT TOUCH" Stonefish!!!


Our campsite for the weekend.....
Anyway it bed time..... Had a big day and tomorrow will be even bigger - we go to the tip tomorrow hopefully:)
Lots of Love from the Barramundi's
