We woke early and had breakfast. Amelia revelling with the independence of camping and fending for herself.
We joined the bypass road for a short stint as we finished the Southern section of the Tele Track and joined the Northern section. The crossings in the Northern section were much more tricky than the Southern ones. Not far in and we stopped at Fruit Bat falls. We didn't swim because it was a little bit cool and also a bus load of tourists rolled up soon after us and it got packed real fast.
Next stop in at Elliot Falls was great. Again we didn't swim.
Once we got to Twin Falls we just had to have a dip. Nice knee deep water, no chance of crocs and a great waterfall massage.
Back on the road a tricky little crossing. We placed Leticia in a large hole so we didn't slide in. We didn't realise how hard the climb out on the other side was once we got around the corner. No photos as we were all in the car but it was hairy! A large drop off that would have easily rolled the car and the climb up had the traction control kicking in.
Cypress Creek and the old log bridge was very interesting to say the least. There is about a 5 metre drop to nothing under the bridge and no other choice than to go over. Some guidance from the crew and we crossed with no problem.
There was Nolan's Brook which is the last and the deepest crossing but in all the fuss getting across we forgot to take photos. We do have video which I'll upload here soon.
We paid the $99 and bought the return ferry ticket for the 30 second trip across. This would be a great little business to have!!
We continued up to Punsand Bay campground and set up for the night. Not a bad spot right on the beach but it does have very average facilities. What else do you do?
