In the cool of early morning, a fascinating Weipa Mine Tour (own cost). A veritable “Oasis in the Wilderness" and providing further contrast to your experience of this last frontier.

DAY 5 FRUITBAT FALLS - JARDINE RIVER - PUNSAND BAY (BLD)

Civilisation far behind and we are really in four wheel drive country as we traverse rushing streams, rocky crossings and the ever changing wilderness landscape of zamias and eucalyptus forests to reach today’s lunch destination, the picturesque Fruitbat Falls on the Elliot River.

This afternoon we cross the Jardine River, followed by a short visit to Bamaga Aboriginal and Islander settlement. 3 nights accommodation: Punsand Bay Private Reserve.
