YouTubeAfter exactly two months in the van, and the departure of two fellow convoy members, it was time to drive home. The drive was a big one, 2150km and we travelled from the camp at Gordonvale near Cairns to Surfers Paradise in just 10 days.

Free camping just 20 minutes south of Cairns. We spent a while at this spot, and the one previous post ‘Free camping at Gordonvale, near Cairns’ just doesn’t show how great this spot was. Beautiful spot, just be wary of crocodiles and rain as this area can flash flood.

We have stayed here for a few days and could stay for many more. Beautiful scene, river beside us and safe swimming holes. Take a look at the HRD photo of the Mulgrave River at dawn.

There is no camping except for caravan parks, within 15kms of Cooktown. With some local knowledge we headed to Annon Gorge and found a spot on top of a hill on the other side of the river from the main access point (tour groups showed up there everyday).
