A mate and myself are going to fish and
camp around hinchinbrook in June sometime and ive never been there. Where should two blokes in a troopy campervan and a tinnie stay? On the island or stay on the mainland? What are the tracks like on the island and are there many campsites on the island with boating access?
Also, what are the ferry charges? Ive tried to find this information out myself but there isnt much on the net it seems.
cheers
John.

No cars on the island
say at Port Hinchinbrook, there is a pub, bistro, restaurant & a boat motel there as
well, were you can leave the tiny at is own wharf & leave from there to do the southern end (more fish at the southern end & go up
Cardwell way for the northern part
How big is the tiny? there are a lot of
camp site on the eastern side of the island but you are exposed to the sea if it gets rough. you need a sea worthy craft
Zoey falls is
well worth the visit you can
camp near the creek or up at the falls also there is a creek with a lagoon at the northern end of this bay a lot of Craft go in at high tide &
camp, their are some good spots there as
well
remember there is probably more crocs on the western side of Hinchinbrook island than any where else in QLD so
camp smart
