Cairns and the Cape Trip, Oct 2018, Day 12

We were up relatively early and had cereal for brekky. Then the guys had to get the car that was being towed going. That took awhile, so we packed up camp and the cars and were finally ready to head off a bit after 9 am. As always things take a lot longer than usual and we didn't get out to the PDR until nearly 11 am. One of the cars had fuel problems and is running very roughly. We continued north to the Jardine River Ferry and waited for everyone to catch up. Then it was across the ferry, all the cheap cars then had to wait while one of the support cars to dash into Bamaga to get ULP as there was none available at the ferry. After helping change a tyre on the camper trailer, Dave and I went ahead to restock with food in Bamaga. We eventually met up with the others and had lunch at one of the WW2 plane wrecks. 

Then we went to the Croc Tent for a look before continuing onto our camp for the evening at Punsand Bay. 

Due to a mix up with dinner plans Dave and I had to do a run back into Bamaga to pick up some bbq meat that would be cooked on a sponsors product. 
We met up with the others in the car park at the Tip and then walked out around the beach as it was low tide. We got photos and filming done as the sun set and then walked back to the cars and drove back to camp. 



For dinner they had to find the instructions on how to put the bbq together and then the fire lighting skills of the presenters were put to the test and they failed until a little petrol was added to the mix. Once the fire was going well, a mountain of meat was cooked and eaten. Afterwards we sat around the fire chatting until everyone headed off to bed.
