We have reached Cooktown. The pic shows the cairn that marks the spot where Captain Cook landed to do repairs to the Endeavour. You get magnificent views of Cooktown and the surrounding area from the local lookout, as it is on top of a very steep mountain that is almost in the centre of town.
Yesterday we went to Archer Point, down a track crossing 11 creeks and not getting bogged once. More amazing coastline and photographs.
Several of the people at the Cooktown Caravan Park have been up to the top of the Cape and tell us the roads are good. Even the Telegraph road is good with only a couple of really deep creek crossings. We have decided to store the van in Cooktown and go to the top of the Cape in the tent. We will be going up the 'boring' road that the trucks use as wading hip deep in a tropical river is not so appealing to us as it is to some of the more adventurous people here in the caravan park.
