We packed up this morning, a little sorry to be leaving our campsite at canal creek but our next goal is to reach the tip so time to move on.
After packing up the campers we headed to Fruitbat Falls for a refreshing swim before hitting the corrugated dirt of the development road. We made it to the Jardine River Ferry & handed over the $130 to cross the river, a very expensive crossing (we were on the ferry for about 2 minutes) but better than risking a swim with the crocs. The ferry is the only option now anyway as you're no longer allowed to drive across the river.
On the other side of the river we headed toward Serial & after a look around decided to head for Punsand Bay. This proved to be a popular choice as most of the people we had met on the track were also camped here & I can see why, this place is paradise. We are now only about 5km from the tip.
