I headed back to the protected rainforest and made camp at Camp 1 ...
Now you know where the flies go on dark ... mostly under the leaves but occasionally on top like these ones.

I drove back out the Usher Point Track and headed South to the Jardine stopping at the old vehicle crossing for a look before heading out to the old telegraph line crossing and hut to camp.













Cant remember that post being there before but do remember the wooden bits of the old WWII bridge.

someone had even left some wood for me



I removed the broken bits of my mirror mount and broke it even further ... so drilled out the housing and the mount and ran a longer larger bolt right through the lot, fitted a washer and nut inside the housing and she's as good as new !!

After sunrise on the Jardine i headed North back to Seisa

[Big Red]

I drove up on to the little headland to the south of Seisa beach and camped up to do some uploading with a nice 4 bars of 4G [even though data flow up here on Cape York can be limited at peak times even with great signal]



A bushfire fuelled by strong winds was heading along the access track directly towards my hill but luckily a narrow rainforest belt stopped it reaching the hill





My little hilltop hideaway with a rainbow pointing directly at MissRed

Monday 29-8-22:
I watched the Thursday island Ferry come in and dock beside a cargo ship at the Seisa Wharf then spotted Bruce out cruising and checking me out .

[Big Red]

Bruce disappeared after the Ferry left so i drove down to the wharf for a sticky beak. Bruce pulled up a bit of beach over on Red Island and relaxed.

[Big Red]

I headed South to a bit of beach with plenty of 4G to myself and relaxed for the day ... did venture for a quick dip [OK the water had barely enough time to wet me] keeping an eye out for Bruce.
