Cooktown and Helenvale

Headed east from Normanton, destination Cooktown. Stopped in Croydon and the CP there for mothers day and dinner at the pub. Brad rang his mother. That was nice of him to remember or did I text him first?

Georgetown another CP. Then FC at Archer's Creek 16km west of Ravenshoe on the Kennedy Dev Road. Atherton for provisions then FC at Mount Molloy for the night.

Stopped two nights at the Orchid CP in Cooktown then moved to the Helenvale and the Lion's Den Hotel. Friends own this pub and camp ground and we stayed for free. Timed it well arriving on the weekend as they have live bands and its very popular with the locals as well as tourist. Good to catch up but they were very busy keeping things on track.
Molly and Buddy checking a tourist brochure for things to do.
