Heading South

Leaving Seisa and Bamaga we met up with a couple, Pete and Kim driving a 100 series and towing yet another Kimberley Kamper. It seems that if it has a motor, it is a Toyota, and if it's being towed, it's a Kimberley in these parts! Pete sold his plumbing business, rented their house and is touring indefinately!
A lovely couple with a roof top tinny, so they were extra popular at Vrilya Point!

The Jardine river is crossed on a ferry in chains nowadays as the old car crossing is now impassable.

Vrilya Point is a beautiful beach on the west of the cape. It's about 30 k off the main track, and to get there you need to drive over a very ricketty old log bridge with a tight turn and steep climb directly after the logs. fairly easy on the way in, but on the wat out, towing a trailer it presents more of a challenge.

 

We drove 8k along the beach, past a shipwreck to camp in a superb shaded area on the beach. It doesn't get much better.

Time to move on, but getting out across the bridge was never going to be easy.
