Cockatoo Creek to Moreton via Captain Billy Landing

This morning we left our lovely camp and continued southwards on the telegraph track to the Gunshot creek bypass. We met lots of traffic immediately after crossing Cockatoo creek.
The bypass track winds through some beautiful heathlands, quite a change of scenery compared to Cockatoo creek.

We made our way to the turnoff to Capt. Billy landing where we met a lunatic safari bus driver- where they get their licenses, I have no idea.

Along the track there is a spectacular lookout on top of the range, overlooking the heathlands, forest and brilliant white sand dunes. We stopped their for morning tea and enjoyed the view despite the overcast conditions.

We made it to Capt. Billy for lunch, and found the windblown campsite unoccupied.

We did meet some camper vans on the way out, so they would have had a pretty windy camp.

We made camp on the lovely green lawns at Moreton Telegraph station. The rustic shower facilities despite their appearance were enjoyed by all.
