Olsen's Tours and Training Blog

This morning we began our trip southwards from the top of Cape York. Our first stop along the way was at an old World war 2 plane wreck. Our next stop was at another WWII wreck of a DC3.

From the wreck site we travelled a rough track back to the Bamaga road and them onwards to the Jardine Ferry. Once across the river, we stopped and boiled the Billy for morning tea.

Due to the wind and our schedule we elected not to camp at the exposed site at Capt Billy landing. Instead we continued down the road to the southern section of the telegraph track and on to Cockatoo creek.

Cockatoo Creek camp now has toilets and a shelter. Despite the crocodile warning signs, the rope swing over the shallow waterhole is still popular.

Since we were in camp early, we cooked up the two painted vests we got in Bamaga.
