Back via the Bloomfield Track

BLOOMFIELD FALLS Yesterday we left Cooktown and came back via the Bloomfield track which is 4 wheel drive only, it was actually pretty good, we did have one delay as a vehicle with a camper trailer must of been going too fast on a bend and had hit a bank and had damaged the wheel and tyre. A travelling companion winched them back up the hill so that they could replace the tyre. There were a couple of creeks to cross but not a lot of water in them.
CAPE TRIBULATION This is where the rain forest meets the sea, really pretty. Last time we were here was 10 years ago with Bevan and Jenny, it was a damp day and not very busy, yesterday there were a lot of tourists around. From here on the road is sealed.

Forgot to mention that the other day when we were at Isabella falls, Paul went to walk down a track and saw a snake shimmer back into the undergrowth, all you could see was the leaves moving, he was about the size of a garden hose and very dark brown. As you can appreciate we did not wander down the track.
