Black Mountain Road to Wonga Beach
July 25, 2008 - Wonga Beach, Australia
My bush camp was a dark place, notwithstanding a clear sky. Therefore I went underway immediately in search of a better place to have breakfast. I found that place some 20 km northward, a small clearing in the rain forest. The track has a section which is not used often and is a lot narrower with steeper sections. I arrived in Mossman early...

Mount Misery to Black Mountain Road (Kuranda)
July 24, 2008 - Black Mountain Road, Australia
 The night and morning were misery indeed as far as the weather was concerned. Lots of rain and visibility less than a 100 meters.

Blencoe Falls
July 21, 2008 - Blencoe Falls, Australia
Early in the morning I found out that the camp site is stretched over half a kilometers and that there where several other parties camping during the night. I later explored the whole camp site and moved to a great spot 10 meters away from the Blencoe River to spend another night at this place.   During the night it began to rain and up to this...
