We are on our north, not breaking any records at the moment, just taking our time. Heading for Cooktown, maybe another get together ??.

Will be in the Caliope area 25/5.

 You are not referring to the Alligator Ck camp ground in Bowling Green Bay National Park  are you?

Edit, I have just looked at their site http://www.derm.qld.gov.au/parks/bowling-green-bay/camping.html It says "Alligator Creek camping area is suitable for tents and small campervans only. Each camp site has a vehicle bay for reversing into (surrounded by bollards) and a separate area to set up a tent. Caravans, camper trailers and motorhomes will not fit into the vehicle bays and are not allowed in this camping area."

Iwas there last year, in a ute with slide on, and it was great , except for some hoons who started to fight amongst themselves, and were given an offer they couldn,t refuse.Great swimming and walking,would be better with a caretaker or ranger.About 20 klms south of Townsville.Didn,t think of caravans . Sorry.

I saw this elsewhere about a Hot Air Baloon landing at a camping spot at Mareeba would be a bit of a pleasant surprise (unless they landed on you, he he) see;
