Cairns and the Cape Trip, Oct 2018, Day 13

Had a relatively late time getting out of bed. Cooked up some bacon and eggs for the crew. Then did some packing and work on the car before dropping Dave into Bamaga airport so he can start the long trek back to Brisbane. In the meantime they unpacked the boat off the camper trailer  and went out to do some fishing while the rest of the crew went to shoot some background footage. 
They all arrived back around lunchtime so I set up for ham, cheese and tomato sandwiches. After lunch it was time for a swim in the pool and then while I stayed at camp getting the car packed up for trip home, and having a snooze, the crew took the cheap cars for a run through a back track to the tip. On the way home they broke one of the cars when the rear diff shat itself. They took off the tail shaft and drove it back to camp as a front wheel drive. 
We went for pizza for dinner at the "Corrugation Bar" and it was pretty spectacular. While having a drink there it turns out that one of the guys from Sydney bought along some fireworks so the owners are allowing him to set them up on the beach. Should be a spectacular show. It was pretty great having fireworks on the beach.

 We all went to bed not too long after. Then the producer mentioned I might be towing one of the empty car trailers back from Mareeba. He still has to work it out with Dave yet.
