Hi guys,
New around here and and am planning my first trip north of
Cooktown. Pretty sad considering I live near Mackay I know. Looking at this time next year and two to three weeks to kill total including travel. My wife and I will be travelling with another couple and I will be towing a boat on a heavy duty independent
suspension trailer so that shouldn't be an issue both vehicles have
winches and I have a rear locker and maybe a front locker by than.
Basically looking for the best place to pull up stumps for an extended hitch and want a good
camp spot without people everywhere and the best fishing I can find. So basically paradise I guess. Will be pretty much self sufficient except for water which we will need a creek or spring to pump out of every 5days or so. I will be able to pull the boat out as I need it but if I can would be great to be able to leave it onshore. Last but not least some wind protection would be great.
I know I'm asking alot but hey if half of that comes together I'll be happy.
Thanks in advance guys

G'day Tosh
Haven't been in to
Bathurst Bay, but have been to
Cape Melville 3 times and it certainly ticks all your boxes. Consider doing the Starke from Cooktown/Hopevale.
It's a good run and links up with both.
Good fresh water at Melville, generally few people spread out along a few Km and no probs launching your boat (wind permitting).
