    What a beautiful area.
    I looooove botanical gardens. I'll be the one crawling around in the dirt to get great shots of plants.
    Wonderful episode.

    Thanks for sharing your Cooktown trip. Silly me forgot to go up the lookout, we were too busy talking to everyone in the street. It's a really good hardware store as well. Fishing off the jetty is great, we spent an afternoon there with a lovely lady one afternoon after meeting up the street earlier the day before, black bream on prawns is the hot tip.

      You’ll have to plan another trip back to Cooktown and we need to fish off the jetty next time 👍☀️🌴

    Loved the Happy Campers segment. What a lovely couple, lovely seeing such a young family giving it their best. Well done.
    Will definitely check them out next time we are up that way.

    Loving season 7, that area is a fantastic part of the Country. Hmmmm sounds like I need some orchards in my life, even deception would be enough for me lol.

    Surprised, no visit to the Capt Cook Museum, it is extremely well laid out and the building has an incredible history attached to it, officially opened by the Queen.
    Well worth a visit and support from us ‘tourists’.

    • @TheFeelGoodFamily
      @TheFeelGoodFamily  Год назад

      It’s such a rich environment - you really need to take your time to enjoy the local vibe - you might need to plan a return visit 👍💙🇦🇺

  • @gregclaydon6727

    Please, please check out Endeavour River Escape near Cooktown, it is only 20min north near the Airport, it is a most fabulous place to stay, bush camping at its best, we have stayed here 3 times now and absolutely love it!
    They give you a very big grassed area for your Van, toilets and Hot Shower block, free washing machine (if you bring your own generator), Camp Kitchen, plenty of potable drinking water and your own Fireplace where you are allowed to fetch wood from the bush, they also even have a daily pick up of your rubbish, what more can you ask for?
    This site is a 10/10, can’t wait to return..

    • @gregclaydon6727
      @gregclaydon6727 Год назад +2

      Yes Josh, it is very Pet and Kid friendly, there are a couple of large friendly Goannas that will come around to your camp looking for a feed, no problems here. As to Croc's again no problem also beside the camping area is a bush road through some spectacular jungle, this ends at a small tributary of the Endeavour River where you can fish, the property owners have put up some fencing here to give you some added protection just in case.
      At the back of the property, through a Gate is a good 4WD road that takes to to some spectacular locations like Eddies Beach and the Coloured Sands and more. Those travellers who want to travel on up to the Cape taking only their vehicle can leave their Caravan on site for free.
      As I have stated we love this place, can't wait to return next year.. our last visit we stayed for two weeks with our friends and two dogs.
      Also almost forget to mention, the Airport is nearby where they run regular charter flights up to Cape York, our friend David took one of these flights and he said it was a trip of a lifetime!

    What’s your tip for hanging your nakie hammock and how to get out of it safely 😂

    • @TheFeelGoodFamily
      @TheFeelGoodFamily  Год назад

      😅👍 I think trial and error to be honest on height - what’s great is you just unclip and move up or down one segment at a time a test out getting in and out - also try laying on a slight diagonal that will make it really comfy too - also check out Nakie website as they have loads of how to vids 🌴☀️👍
