Photos:1. A rough day
2. Our first river crossing
3. Another crossing
Arrived Lakeland for lunch. Spent the afternoon preparing and packing everything we will need for the next section of the trip. We are going to leave the van here and go on with just the car and tent.
Tomorrow the Cooktown loop.
Spent the day looking around Cooktown.
We will take the Battlecamp road (4WD only) track from Cooktown through the Lakefield National Park to Old Laura to get back onto the Peninsular Development Road.
We weren't far into the track when we came to our first real water crossing.

We decided to have lunch and think about it before we attempted the crossing.
Ray walked across it and fortunately someone else came through and did it before us, so we knew it would be OK to try. There were three more crossings that day. We're old hands now.
We spent the night at the Old Laura Homestead camp.
And, safely made it out onto the PDR the next day to continue to Coen.
The road is pretty rough in spots, lots of corrugations and dips.
We spent the night by the side of the river 3km north of Coen.
Met a man catching yabbies in the river with a net.
