The next day we decided to head out to Cape Melville. The dirt road to the turnoff to Melville was in great condition. A very easy 80km later we turned onto the Cape Melville Track at an old rusty tractor. This next 56km was very very different. Nothing too challenging, a bit tight in spots but very slow going, winding in and out of trees over a rough offroad track. About 3 hrs later, through a bushfire and past countless termite mounds, we tackled the only decent water crossing and came out onto the beach. What a beautiful spot. Definitely worth the drive. Unfortunately for us a leaking water tank fitting in the camper trailer restricted us to just 1 night at Cape Melville. I had a fish from the beach and got a threadfin, a shark and something else that I did know what it was. We had a bit of wind blow up just on dark and we could see the glow of the bushfire increase in size in the distance. At least it was heading away from us and we were hoping it would burn out by the morning.
