A lookout on the way from Lions Den to our next stop over near Mareeba, we have decided to try our first free camp. It is really great to get back on the bitumen if we haven't already said that...
The Cape was an experience, we enjoyed all the places we stayed, but it's a whole different world up there. In the Cape the licencing laws seem to vary from day to day. At Weipa you couldn't buy cask wine until 5pm. At the pub drive thru you had to be in registered vehicle for service, then next day you had to show ID to buy. No Port available for sale anywhere on the Cape.
From the lookout, looking back to where we have come from, you can see a speck or two of the road through the hills. Now we made it to our first free camp with some anticipation, though there were no showers, toilets available for use and gold coin donation appreciated, all good. Rocky Creek Memorial Park is a memorial to all fallen servicemen from the Mareeba and surrounding districts, all set in rock faces, very nice and special place. They had a VP day on the day after we arrived so only had half the camping area available, bit squeezy... we the only camper, others vans, winnies, 5 wheelers, 1 bicycle rider.
