Crocodile Dundee in Cape Greenville

The wind got quite strong, and we have caught up with our timing, so we stopped for 3 days in Cape Greenville, just at the foot of the northern tip of australia.

This is a very nice anchorage, with only 3 boats, escaping, like us from the rough weather.

They told us about a small walking tracks leaving from the beach…which was marked with blue and green bits…I didn’t quite understand what those « bits » meant for an australian, so I assumed it would be some sort of little ribbons or something…

But NO…it was ACTUALLY BITS…and pieces…plastic stuff hangging from the trees and bushes…

The « bits » used as path markers

One of the beautiful settings of the path

When we got to the beach on the other side, we understood where those bits came from…that beach was exposed to the winds and swell. All objects that fell from a boat or got lost on the beach in the whole of Queensland must have ended up here : flippers, fishing buckets, pipes, wood etc…a real paradise for yachties : everything available for free!…That’s why the yatchies that were here before us marked the way…they also left their boats name written on bit and pieces hanging from a tree.

We added our names and did our shopping…

Proof that we are now part of the Cape Greenville Yacht Club…

Our shopping : wood, plastic pipe and rubber fenders
