First day in Punsand Bay was relaxing with a walk on the beach, swim in the new pool, cold beer (in a glass!) at the Corrugation Bar and just relaxing at camp with the other family nearby. We had been told about a big male croc that calls this place home. "Gary" was believed to be around 6m long! Keen to see him, but from a distance lol. Late that afternoon the remainder of the group pulled in for a night. Their tales of crossing the Jardine were annoying lol. They all made it fairly easy after walking it a few times and marking out holes with sticks stuck into the sandy bottom.

The next day we all went exploring different directions with the idea of ending up at the tip for a group pic. We went off in search of the infamous bird watch tower in a secret location, and almost dissapointingly found it with ease. We then had a look around at the very sad Pajinka Resort Ruins before making our way to the Tip carpark to walk the rest of the way. Fortunately it was low tide so we chose the easier beach walk. We managed to run straight into the Old fella and the Germans out at the sign. We took some pics and sat there with a beer or 2 and soaked in the atmosphere and sense of achievement of making it to the top.

We then went looking for a campsite that the old fella had camped at before that was not marked on maps. Seemed like a bit of a needle in a hay stack but surprisingly we managed to find it after a while of searching. Coming out off the track onto the beach I know why he was so keen to find it again. WOW! What a special place. They set up for a few days as we left to head back to our camp at Punsand.
Secret Beach
We had already booked for 3 nights at Punsand so we decided that afterward we would head back out to the secret beach camp for a night or 2.
