Punsand Bay

Saturday, Sept. 20

We left Elliot Falls and headed to the Jardine River Crossing. We had all agreed on crossing the Jardine on the barge as we had found out that the last successful car crossing was completed nearly 20 years ago and all subsequent attempts had failed.

After traversing some of the most corregated roads to date, particularly the stretch between Bamaga and Punsand Bay. Upon arrival at Punsand Bay we were given three beach frontage campsites only to find out later how lucky we were. During our stay at Punsand Bay, several other travellers came and went, all being relegated to the back lots. After Mike and Jan and Sally and I choose our spots, Jude jumped in and claimed the best that only her tent would fit. She didn’t stop smiling about it for the entire stay.

I opted for a quick fish as soon as we had finished setting up camp.

We all then ventured down to the nearest rock for our weekly rocksit.
