Tree Snake
A staff member at Loyalty Beach found a tree snake (about 1m long) and was showing it to Alyssa.1st November 2012,
Woke up to a beautiful view of the ocean. Pity we cannot swim in ocean because of the crocs (although we have not seen any yet!). We are finally going up to the tip this morning (so excited!!!!). The local Aboriginal people call the tip Pajinka. After a leisurely breakfast we left Taylor behind at the campsite and drove unattached to the tip of Australia. The drive was magnificent, like a mini Daintree Forest. We drove as far as we could and parked by the beach. From there, it was about a 20 minute walk to the Northern most point of Australia. Reaching the tip of Australia was an amazing feeling that words cannot describe, a sense of accomplishment. I hope the girls cherish this moment forever as Daniel and I will. Of course the day was not without drama. On the way back (one road in and out as faar as we know), an enormous tree had fallen down across the road, blocking our path. So yeah, Daniel finally gets to use the electric winch. He couldn't use any of his other recovery gear as it was left behind in Taylor (we didn't think we would
need it). Daniel hooked the winch to the main branch and Naeshka reversed the car. The branches were slowly being cleared away when we suddenly attacked by a swarm of wasps (probably disturbed their hive!!!). The road was finally cleared and we headed to Bamaga for some lunch and then headed back home to Loyalty Beach. What an eventful day!!
