After fuelling up we hit the road out of Cooktown and headed for the red dirt of Battlecamp Road, which is more of a dirt track than a road.
We stopped at the Old Laura Homestead for a look around the old homestead & some lunch, then headed into Lakefield National Park. After travelling down a bumpy dirt track we came to a lovely waterhole where we encountered our first croc, they were to quick for us to take a photo.
We continued on to our campsite at Kalpowar Crossing, a beautiful spot in Lakefield. Facilities were limited to bush toilets & refreshing cold showers, but a great spot just the same. Although it wasn't Amanda's favourite spot after almost standing on a black snake last night & burning her fingers on a hot pot.
