At the Jardine Ferry we had phone reception so time to put plan B into action. Where were we going to spend the night? We booked a camp site in the North Jardine National Park campground.

Paid our $100 for the ferry. This is return and includes camping at some sites North of the Jardine.

Next to find the campground.

This shot, as it turns out is  not on the way into the National park campground. We did find some camping at the end of this road but we couldn't get the motorhome down the track - "Clifford" is too tall.

It was now time for plan c, our first gravel pit stop over. In the end it turned out to be a pretty good camp spot.

Heading North the next morning we found the signed road to the North Jardine National Park. We still did not find our booked site number 6. We did however find sites 1 and 2 here at the northern side of to the old Jardine river ford.

The sign warns that this crossing is no longer in use, there are crocodiles, and its doubtful that anyone will retrieve your vehicle when you get stuck.

Saw the sign into Mutee beach it was only 10km so decided to go and have a look - we had time.

Turns out it was a nice beach and a nice free camp ground right on the beach. So we decided to stay. It looked like it was going to be a nice peaceful night.

We were then inundated with a group of about a dozen grey nomads travelling together. It was still fine just not the solitude it  looked like at first.
