Sorry; Kurrimine instead

Sad to tell you we are leaving Mission Beach tomorrow, we really have to move on because our goal is Darwin and we don’t want to end up there in summer because we don’t want to get involved with the wet season and the belonging cyclones.

I know I promised you the story of our brave sky-divers but here I have a bit of a problem because tonight we are getting to see the video what was made of the two last hero’s by the sky-divers team themselves so I hope to gather some more exciting information for my blog.

Because we are heading towards Cooktown with a free camping in between, I know that I can’t give you that sky-diving adventure in a couple of days.

I don’t want to leave you empty handed so I’ll publish another story what we did here near Mission Beach.


Three times a year, with full moon, the tide at Kurrimine Beach (approx. 40 k's from us) is so low, that you can walk to the reef and actually can walk on it. I prefer to walk between the coral and not on it! And especially not picking on it like some people did, looking for I think; oysters. That’s really disgusting, to destroy the reef like that!


you have to start walking when the tide is not totally out because you just have about 20 minutes before it starts to come in again....


and its about a kilometre from the shore to the reef.....


and walking through the water knee high, is pretty tough....



the reef itself was a bit disappointing because the main colour was brown and it was very muddy.....


but you could see a lot creepy creatures hiding as soon as they saw you coming .....



we ran into some people of our caravan park, quite a bit though!





you wouldn't want to step on that!!



on the way back we saw some beautiful thing, f.i. this sea star..... 


amazing how big it was.....


and this silly thing came out of the ground, hundreds of them!



nearly back.....



Again folks, sorry I cannot give you the sky-divers now but they will certainly come!!

Hopefully we see you soon, till then; Keep save!

  1. Fantastisch dat dit mogelijk is en natuurlijk dat jullie dat dan ook doen. Vreemd om te beseffen wat er onder het zand zit als je in de zee bent. Het is een wonderlijke wereld hè. Goede reis naar Darwin. Wij vonden het er wel leuk om te zijn en zijn benieuwd hoe jullie het vinden. Have a good and save journey!
