Cape York | Loyalty Beach | Fruit Bat Falls | Gunshot
In this episode, we pack up from Punsand Bay Campground and make our way to Loyalty Beach Campground for some of the best fish and chips we've had in ages! You’ve got to love sitting on the beach with fish and chips, good mates, and a golden sunset. From there, we head back across the Jardine River Ferry and make our way to Fruit Bat Falls. We missed them on the way up, so we decided to visit the falls this time, and as luck would have it, we had the place to ourselves again! Our last bucket list item to tick off before heading south was the notorious Gunshot Creek. We took the bypass track past the ranger station and followed the Old Telegraph Track to finally reach the famous Gunshot Creek entry. There was no way I was taking Benny down there! There were chicken tracks on chicken tracks on chicken tracks! Needless to say, it was a fun adventure in and back out again, and a great way to end our Cape York trip!

Cape York | Punsand Bay Campground to the tip
zhlĂ©dnutĂ­ 1,8KPƙed 16 hodinami
In this episode we spend a week at Punsand Bay Campground and on to the northern most tip of Australia! We actually visited the tip twice as we went back to get a more cheesy photo with some friends. Interestingly enough, between the two visits to the tip, someone shot up the Cape York with a shotgun! Quite disrespectful given it is private land and actions like this will end up running it for ...

    Firstly, congratulations on welcoming your newest family member into the world. Finally some gender balance for poor Tania! 🙂 You've probably already looked it up, but just in case: USAAF is actually United States Army Air Force. During WW2 the US Air Force was not its own arm, but a branch of the US Army. A friend of flew F-15 Strike Eagles for many years and she once gave me a full rundown on the history of the USAF and the (now defunct) Strategic Air Command, and the politics behind the USAF not existing during WW2. It's certainly hard to imagine such young people going to war. My father trained as a pilot during WW2, but thankfully missed out by a few days on shipping out to the UK to join crews flying Lancasters over Germany. He's very much the reason for my own career choices, after he passed away and my focus on music had to change to something more 'practical' by way of engineering. I've still got his 'wings' and a number of RAAF magazines from his time in our own Air Force. I've also got some 'naughty' stories from his training days of crosswind landings in Avro Ansons 🙄 We won't be taking our Canter down gunshot đŸ˜± It just doesn't bear thinking about! Another great video. Off to have our fish and chip night for now 👍 Looking forward to the next instalment.

      @contributor7219 United States Army Air Force! Now I think about it, it makes perfect sense! I forget the air force was still in its early days back in the 1940's. Thanks for the information, as I had not looked that up, just assumed it was USA Air Force. Enjoy your Friday night fish and chips. Oh, and Kaia is doing well as is Tania, taking it easy for the next few weeks. 😃😃

    Thank you for the video. i wonder if it would be possible to remove a grass seed or to be more precise a foxtail seed from a cavalier's ear without a general anesthesia?

    • @VetinaVan
      @VetinaVan Pƙed dnem

      Hi, It depends how far in that the seed is and the temperament of the dog. Dogs ear canals are very deep, and there's the possibility that there are multiple seeds in the ear. If the seed has been in there a while then it can get quite sore and potentially damage the ear drum. If it's straight forward and the dog is compliant then it could be done with the dog awake or just under sedation, but the vet who has assessed the individual situation could let you know. I'd at least want to look in the ear with an otoscope if the dog seems irritated to check for more seeds or trauma to the ear.

    When I originally saw the 'shots fired at an Aussie icon' I thought you were speaking metaphorically about some clever commentary poking fun at one of our local legends. Sadly, no, actual shots fired at a sign. Were they trying to prove they could hit the broad side of a barn at point blank range? If so, bravo 🙄 Glad to hear they've been caught and will be prosecuted. Another fantastic video in the series guys. The best look we've seen at how a trip to the tip can be when doing it in a nice relaxed way.

    Your videos continue to be a fantastic take on doing The Cape - much more our laid back style of doing things. The Alau Beach Campground looks absolutely stunning, and based on your comments I think somewhere we'd want to spend a few days. The contrast between rainforest and the open sea is definitely marked! Given the investment in a 'trip to the tip' I don't think too many would complain about the ferry cost when considered against the total. The more we see of your take on things the more I think we need to add it to our trip list. Watched the tight tracks last week with interest as our little truck would struggle to fit through some of those spots without tree pruning (or a caravan to clear a branch or two🙂). Given your current truck (bus) build and our other comments I realised this might be of interest. We helped out an auto journo friend with a video a while back - ours is the 'baby' of the two Canters. Wifey took some drone footage too. czcams.com/video/xWRfPuCgxhg/video.html Looking forward to the next instalment. Hope all is going well!

      Glad you enjoy the videos, this campsite was one of our favourite of all time! The place we stayed here is in wiki camps as "George River Remote Bush Camp" - that's the 'area' as there are a few different camps around the wiki marker. The area also changes from season to season due to flooding so it may not be the same as when we were there which was a few years ago now! I must warn you though, the track in was VERY tight and rocky, there was bits of caravan everywhere so probably a good idea to park the van at the lookout, unhitch and go in for a bit of a reconnaissance trip first as it might not be accessible to large setups. If you do manage to get into the site, it really is one of the best in Australia, so enjoy! đŸ˜€đŸ˜€đŸ»đŸ‘

      @DoYouAcceptReturns this was about 2 years ago now so not sure if it has changed but Gumbanan Wilderness Retreat had an area out to the north of the camp that was locked by rocks when the tide was at a certain hight making it croc safe. 👍😀

    For some bizarre reason the idea of doing The Cape when it's wet appeals to me. Not sure why. Doubtless cleaning the first couple of inches of red mud off everything would soon rid me of that compulsion! I didn't realise the PDR had so much black top though. We'd be inclined to relax and take our time too and just see what the place has to offer. It must have been so tempting to try to break the speed record, your vehicle/van, and/or the record for the highest towing bill by belting through that water crossing - how on earth did you resist? 🙄 Love the 'hamster cupboard' (of course) and we are frequent users of the term: 'to hamster away' in our own pantry. Looking forward to the next one. Safe travels.

      @contributor7219 we are far tp boring to do any of that 'cool' stuff!! We love just taking our time nice and slowly, never in a rush to get anywhere. So much easier in the car and van if you take things slow! Although sometimes it is tempting to 'send it', however, common sense usually prevails! 😀👍
