Caution on the CREB

Our dive trip completed we were resolved to head north. Caleb was convinced he wanted to 'check out' the CREB (Cairns Regional Electricity Board) Track, which runs from Daintree Village through the Daintree world heritage area and on to Cooktown. Fortunately for him, and unfortunately for some of our food boxes, the first obstacle was crossing croc infested Daintree River. Lisa was not interesting in repeating this escapade so the rest of the 72km of track had to be traversed.

The first time we got stuck, it was put down to inexperience. The second - vehicle capabilities. Luckily though, we were never really stuck and both us and our vehicle came out at Roaring Meg Falls unscathed, save for a few scrapes and dents along the bottom panel and some food boxes that needed a bit of repairing - gaffer tape style. Our biggest concern during this particular adventure was weather, as the above clouds appeared a little too precarious for our liking. We were lucky though, we made it, camped the night at Roaring Meg then made our way up the Cape York Peninsula...
