Cooktown caravan park

I spent today researching the road to the tip and charging batteries. I didn't find much out and my batteries didn't charge quickly. I think they have dodgy electricity here. I went and bought an epirb, which was more expensive than I thought - $350. It might save my life but without that $350 would it be worth living? I also bought hooks and lures and sinkers and bait. All decked out for waterside bush standing.

When I got back the lady from across the road next to the dangerous bushes was leaving. She pulled out onto the road and forgot her thongs so she got out and went to grab them. The guy camped next to me, whose name is "retired police officer", which is how he introduced himself (without saying his name), jumped in his penis extender to leave but it was blocked by the lady, who was attempting to get back into her car.

Instead of waiting this idiot tried to go around. The lady was forced against the car and he ran right over my corner peg on my tent. He stopped for about a second to ask if he got my tent. I told him he just hit the peg. He said he'd get me another peg and I called him an impatient dickhead and he sped off. Yesterday he hit the tree across the road trying to reverse his van in at warp speed. Useless prick. He didn't get me a new peg either.

From tomorrow I will be off line for a week or 2, unless I go to Weipa. Rest assured I have my $350 lifeline so if you dont hear from me for more than a few weeks don't send out the search parties. I can do that myself and if I haven't I'm probably inside a crocodile.

Here's some gifs of my first river crossing.
