Colourful Elim

ELIM Situated north of Cooktown, this was our first view of the coloured sands, as you can see we travelled on a four wheel drive track for 28 km's to reach this spot, the last 12 km's were sand. Prior to entering the area we had to get a permit at Hope Vale as this is all on Aboriginal land.
COLOURED SAND Weird driving on the beach with the ocean so close and not a lot of other traffic to assist should you get stuck.

THE BOYS ON THE BEACH

JAMES COOK MUSEUM After our adventurous morning, once back in town we checked out the museum which is housed in the old Convent school which was built in 1889.
