Thursday 25-8-22:
I headed out to Muttee Head and checked out the old WWII Radar Tower, last time i was here it was all jungle, no signs or fences.

[Big Red]

i explored a few areas of sand and swamp before heading out to the Mouth of the Jardine and finding a camp.





Mouth of the Jardine, is that a boat over there?





View from my camp.

Friday 26-8-22:
I walked out to the mouth with the big lens to try and see if that was a boat on the other side and took a few pics while i was there.

I found the Usher Point track and headed out there, 60 Kms of tight trees, rough rocks, wide washouts and copious corrugations.

Found a tyres and put it beside the track, i wouldn't want it either!



My drivers mirror got hit one too many times and parted company with MissRed.





Camp 1 is beside a small lake.

Camp 2 has nothing going for it.

Camp 3 is open to the winds but there is a track leading from it beside the scrub to a sheltered but sloping area.

I walked north at High Tide around a couple of headlands ... Beaut

[Big Red]

I then walked South for about a km past a palm treed Point then over a rock slab to a Headland covered in Caves.

There is an awesome campsite amongst the trees at the back of this point but the track in has disappeared.
