Thanks to all that have helped with advice for our big trip we leave this Saturday.

After receiving all the advice on trip planning and preparation from this forum and member messages our final plan is as follows;

We leave Brighton on Saturday 9th of September to head to Mitchell stay the 1 night have a swim in the natural springs then a quick look around and off to Barcaldine and Longreach for 2 or 3 nights then to Winton, Boulia, Mount Isa 2 nights 1 for work purposes.

Cloncurry, Gregory Downs and then what we hope will be the high light of our trip Lawn Hill for 4 days Kingfisher 3days and then to Burke town, Normanton, Karumba 2 nights, Georgetown 1 night, Mareeba 1 night, Parmer river and Cooktown 1 night, Loins Den 1 night then down the coast road to Cape Tribulation for 2 or 3 nights.

Cairns 1 night, Bowen 2 nights, Cania Gorge 1 night, and to Millmerran Camp oven Festival 3 nights and finish our trip Woodenbong and return home on the 15th of October.

If there are any Exploroz People in these areas it would good to say to say G-day let us know so we can look out for you.

See some of you at Millmerram camp oven festival 7th and 8th of October

Thanks again for the help in planning this trip over the last 6 months.

Hi BBB

If you're planning on doing the canoes at Lawn Hill you may find you might have to book them in advance, at the water's edge. If you find you have to wait then go for a walk to kill time for your time slot. A good walk to do is the Cascades (kids can have a dip) or the Wild Dog or Wild Dingo Dreaming Walk depending on how much time you have to wait, of course.

Also, if you intend to do the Stack or Escarprment walks (my favourites), try to do them early in the morning as posible, it's less humid and more importantly - better photo opportunities of the gorge with the light and colours. It's best to start the Escarpment walk from the canoes, walk along the boardwalk to the Ranger's office and go up that way and come back along the cheats track, then to do it the other way around. There are loose rocks on the steep descent of both walks, so be aware. If the kids want to go for a quick dip at the waterfalls at any time then go the cheats way, that's the 800m track near near the toilet/shower block.

Enjoy yourselves, it's a great place to relax.

Sounds a great trip and you'll no doubt have a wonderful time.

I just love the mis-spell on Loins Den - let me assure you it can be that kind of place if you over indulge in the Bundys.

Enjoy
