Cape tribulation

We managed to get out in the car on the weekend as it was finally fixed.
3 weeks of not knowing what's going on and what it's going to cost. Our dream trip may have been ending early but the Jackaroo lives again.
The guys at Repco service in cairns done a great job and I was very happy to dish out more money as I knew the lengths these guys went to to get it perfect unlike HOLDEN.
I've discussed with Holden in Warragul about there monumental failure but they don't take customer service seriously and are offering a tiny amount in comparison as to what we have now shelled out.
Anyway...........

We headed of up to cape tribulation to a little beach I found when out riding the dirt bike a few years back after the CREB track. It's on the Bloomfield and I'm guessing it's not widely know about ( unless your a local)

The beach is just past Donovan's range after about three creek crossings.
It's stunning and has the finest golden sands. The water pools up in shallow areas so it's perfect to let the kids go wild in as there is no danger of rocks or critters. Further out you can see coral reef and some bigger fish and even stingrays which I encountered when walking through some pools with the camera.

The water is warm and the kids all had a ball running around soaking each other and digging holes. There are smaller fish in the pools and if you sat still they would come nibble your fingers and toes. Matilda wasn't quite sure what to make of them nibbling her toes but lil looked at it as a free pedicure.

It was great to be out and about again as we had all really missed the old Jackaroo. The kids had a great day out and slept most of the way home as they where buggered from all the action on the beach.

  2. Thanks Simon, we have a feature in the next camper trailer Australia magazine with a bit if info on traveling with a dog and kids. We found that the km you want to do and the km you can expect to do are very different.
    Our dog is a great security dog too so we have been able to leave for a day out and not have to worry about the tent and our things. Finding dog friendly areas has not been to hard until we got to cairns. Due to the amount of national park and heritage listed rainforest you can't really fart in the region without requiring a permit. Staying in cairns is also very expensive unless you have some friends with a bit of grass. But we are here and irking to top up the funds and then off before the wet season comes. Good luck
