This was a road sign that amused us. It was along a road that was unfenced and the sign was warning about cattle straying on to the road - plenty. Note the hats and shoes on the cows.

This is the old hospital at Cooktown that was bought by the Jehovas' Witnesses and used as their hall. They actually moved the building from its original site. But it is beautifully preserved and cared for so it is in good hands.

This is the view from our last free camp site along the Mitchell River. Very little known apart from locals. The information was given to us by a local and we trusted it and followed the road 10 kms from the main highway. It is freshwater and inland so far and along a causeway and from the sea that it was safe to swim in. There may be freshwater crocs but no salties. Not that we saw either species but saltwater crocs are harmless and shy. Mind you, I did not venture too far in but at least it was possible to enter the water. Good for fishing too but without Pete and Toni, wasted on us.

I have to also confess to completing my "real camping" experience here. Lack of toilets means you dig a hole into which you defecate and burn the toilet paper used and then re inter it all. I successfully passed Camping 2 on the syllabus!
