Just a sedate half inch overnight...it sure was a decent rain day the night before Bunyip...something about an upper level low from the north-west meeting the SE tradewinds in our area..rather unexpected for july though I think..we didnt really need it either..

SM if you do ever get a chance to do a trip from Lucinda to Zoe Bay on the ocean side of Hinchinbrook island then grab it..the 3-4 day hike from one end to the other is supposedly unreal too but a bridge too far for these weary old legs ..

Photo is midway along the channel but Zoe falls along the ocean side is amazing also...you wouldnt be surprised to see dinosaurs strolling along the foreshore..

but like those kayakers may not have realised its close to 80-100 km's to get from Cardwell to lucinda by going out around the island...so you are a long way from help if you get into trouble and its tide restricted for rescue boats to get out both ends...But its a real pristine piece of nature with incredibly diverse geography and range of animal life particularly birds.. Definately my favourite place to visit along the East Coast..Since cyclone yasi I have camped on the northern end every year except last year...will be going again in october..
